My favourite way to speak artistically is through wood. My focus recently has been - specifically my decks - but wood is my heart’s best canvas. I prefer wood, often rescuing pieces from being firewood. I paint & draw on pieces, but is my favourite. All . Shown here are and I saved with permission from a log pile, and some and I got from a furniture makers offcuts.

A piece of chestnut with bark on the end. It’s was from a plank being used to make a porch, and was in the pile for the fire. It is unsanded and very rough, you can still see saw marks. I’ve burned a very intricate floral pattern onto it.
A mandala I burned freehand onto a round woodworking blank intended for being turned into a plate, but it wasn’t the right size so it was doomed for the fire. Instead it now has a very intricate design on it, you can see the natural ripples and grain of the wood through it.
A closeup of some very intricate pyrography on a piece of ash. The bark is still on the wood, but the pattern itself covers the surface of the wood completely.
A small, wonky piece of yew, saved from an offcut pile from a woodworker. This little piece stands upright on its own, on a bookshelf beside from very old copies of The Practical Woodworker. Being yew, the wood is multi coloured. Pale white, deep orange, and purples, and in ribbons on this one tiny piece. My artwork follows the natural colour pattern, and I’ve burned a loose vine design onto it.
