I am using this forum as a gallery for my Woodburning creations.  I have posted pictures from both custom jobs I have done for people, and works I have created that are currently for sale.  So if you see something on here you like, feel free to message me about its availability.  

You can also visit the official site for my woodburnings @

I encourage viewers to be inspired by these examples and start thinking about what wood you may have yourself that can be burned.  Think of it like tattooing your furniture

FAQ: What kind of images can you burn?

Answer: If you can take a picture of it, then I can find a way to transfer that image to wood, and burn it fairly accurately.  Your imagination is your only limitation.  Also I have the ability to do most fonts, so think about a personal message or greeting you may want added to a piece as well (this helps make for great personalized gifts).  

FAQ: What kind of wood can be burned?

Answer: Anything that's flat, and actually wood.  Solid woods with lighter shades (pine, maple, basswood, birch) usually work best as the contrast with the burned areas is more noticeable.  But any wood can be used, even just a thin layer of veneer.  I have the ability to strip and sand down pre-existing finishes if needed, and can also refinish the wood to match any prior colour.

Thank you all for visiting my gallery and I hope you enjoy my work and start thinking about how to take advantage of this unique and custom art form.
