Two BeaverCraft pyrography kits, both under $60, with the same 30W pen — and completely different finished projects. Here's which one you should buy.

In this honest hobby pyrography kit comparison, we tested both the Wooden Coasters DIY Pyrography Kit and the Key Holder DIY Pyrography Kit side by side. Both kits include the same 30W pyrography pen, the same round tip and flat tip, the same practice board, the same graphite transfer paper, sandpaper, finishing wax, microfiber cloth, and safety glasses. The difference is the project format — and that's the whole decision. Coaster kit gives you three alder or basswood coasters and 90+ patterns to burn portable, decorative pieces in one session. Key holder kit gives you a triangular plywood base, an alder wood holder, four screw hooks, two keyhole hangers, a screwdriver, and 60+ patterns for a wall-mounted, functional object.

What this beginner pyrography kit guide covers:
- Side-by-side unboxing — what's actually in each kit
- How the 30W pen behaves on alder vs basswood
- Coaster burning (1.5–3 hours per piece)
- Key holder burning + assembly + wall mount
- Which kit matches your goal — gift, decor, or functional
