Steve and I create works of art in wood.  The typical wood used is baltic birch, which comes in numerous thicknesses.  The pattern is drawn and traced onto the wood.  Individual pieces are hand cut with a sabre saw. The pieces are then sanded and painted or stained.  Pieces are put together in a series of layers for a 3-D effect and then positioned in a shadow-box frame.  Frames are made from a variety of woods, i.e., old barnwood, oak, redwood, etc.,  all of which are handmade.   An inside border is added and the work is complete.

    Wildlife - We get lots of orders for the cats, but as you will see we also make koalas, deer pictures, birds and other creatures!

  Modern  - The more modern works are my personal favorites.  I especially like the added effects of the brass in the hats and assorted dried flowers and beads, which all make a more lifelike piece.

    Southwest - Our home presents a lot of southwest scenes.  We have the mural painted on the living room wall.  I really enjoy the warm colors in the southwest works and they make a very comfortable surrounding in the home.

    Scenic - Most of the scenic works are all finished in a variety of stain rather than paint.  This gives a very natural and woodsy effect.
