Description
This one of a kind Tree of Life was hand-drawn on paper, then transferred using a tracing technique and hand-burned onto a custom-made maple wood box. The client wanted a box large enough to hold tarot cards and other magical items.The box measures 11.75" x 8.5" x 5" tall (29.85 x 21.59 x 12.7 cm) and was custom made of maple wood specifically for this project. The box was crafted by Mick Socall of Design Craft Industries ( www.etsy.com/shop/ designcraftindustrie), and as usual his work is both exceptional and affordable.
The total time spent on this project, from drawing the concept to the last burn mark, was 32.5 hours.
Pyrography on maple
Pen: Optima 1
About the Process:
Each piece is first hand-drawn with pencil (brain to hand to wood). Reference photos may be used, but all designs are my own original artwork.
Then guidelines are hand-burned using a pyrography pen, and all pencil marks are erased and sanded clean.
The piece is finished entirely with pyrography ( hand-burned using a hot pen, similar to a soldering iron).
No computers are used to generate images. No lasers are used to create designs. No routers are utilized to create depth. Very occasionally, I will add bright accent tints of purple, blue, green, or red with acrylic paint; however, all non-chromatic shades are accomplished with burning, and not paints or stains.
