The artwork I do is woodwork. All the items I sell are hand-built and hand carved. I build jewelry boxes, cedar chests, coat and hat racks, wall hangings and various furniture. The artwork is built out of oak, cedar, alder and/or pine. After the item is built, I hand carve the designs, stain it with oil based wood stains and the final step is to apply it with polyurethane varnish to enhance the stains.
