I truly love running my hands across things and seeing an image inside. Those who get it, understand this feeling and I hope those that don't, get to experience this by my artwork. Everything has life even after it's living life has been cut, the energy still lives on. On this maple bowl I saw him. Everyone meet, " The Leshy". The Leshy is a deity of the forest from Slavic mythology. He rules over the forest and governs the hunt. Seemed to be the perfect name for this critter.

*From my dreams to you*

How about owning a piece of artwork from the Blue Ridge Mountains here in Virginia? These bowls, are handmade here in the mountains by a local artist and I Woodburn the designs onto each board. These beautiful items are made out of Chestnut, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, and Maple. Each bowl, is unique to itself and is a piece of Operative Art! After I am done with wood burning the item, I treat them with mineral oil /beeswax, so they do not crack and all of our wood burned items, come with instructions on how to care for them. Each one I do is different in its own way. I free hand all my work so there will be differences in each piece of art. I do not use a stencil on any of my work. These bowls will dress up any table while entertaining guests.

Wood bowl care:  These bowls are usable art, so please use them. They have been treated with oils so the wood does not split when washed. If you use your bowls and they get dirty, DO NOT!!!! Put in a dish washing machine. This will ruin your item! Hand wash your wood bowls and when done apply a small amount of oil to it. You can use Olive Oil or Mineral oil, which your wood bowl has already been treated with. If the bowl looks dry, just add a little oil to them. Continue the care this way and it will remain beautiful forever.
