We create our art from photos and pictures.  We specialize in animals of all kinds.  Send us a photo and we will faithfully recreate it in beautifully stained hardwoods.

    Once we receive your photo, we will create a pattern, usually about ten inches wide.  We transfer that pattern to hardwood,  cut the pieces and stain each individually, using three separate processes to bring out the best color.  

    Once the staining process is completed, we assemble them, raising and lowering each piece slightly to give the finished portrait a unique depth not found in two dimensional art.  

    The portrait is then varnished and mounted on an appropriate hardwood that is stained and varnished,  usually 3/4 inch oak.
