Nature made the design. I'm just complimenting it.

The lake had it first.

Storm. Shore. A piece worth picking up.

Read the grain before making the mark.

The journey stays in the wood.

Nothing stained. Nothing printed. Just wood and fire.

Burned by hand in Cleveland. The grain belongs to the wood—not a printer.

The particulars

Tell me what you want burned. A pet, a logo, a line out of a song, the thing you keep doodling in the margins of meeting notes. How it works The deposit books bench time and pays for the driftwood. It comes off the final price. I find a blank whose grain suits the idea. Often the knot or the spalt line decides the composition, and the burning is answering it. You get a proof before anything is burned. You approve the proof, then I burn it. Driftwood has no undo — once it is approved, the piece is final. Two to four weeks, including proof approval. Longer in festival season, and I will say so up front rather than let a date slide. Sealed with beeswax from our own hives. I will not reproduce someone else's copyrighted or trademarked artwork. If a brief needs that, I will tell you and refund the deposit.
