Tree of Life

Date. 2020

Client. Several clients

Size. 18"

Tool. pine spruce fir wood round, pencil, pyrography pen, stain, clear coat.

This was another top favorite of my clients. It started out as a family tree for my first client. Other clients ordered it for office decor.

It is hand drawn and routed out the background. I used the pyrography pen to create the leaves of the tree in the background as well as added gold flakes to add a touch of texture and pop of color to the leaves. I routed out all of the background between the roots of the tree so that the tree itself, branches, and routes are what popped out of the design. The background was stained and sealed with several layers of clear coat.
