After working in the woodshop all day, I like to relax by sitting at the dinner table and using my pyrographic burning pen to burn pictures and portraits in wood. Mainly, it's a type of therapy. I find it relaxing and enjoyable. Many of these works I did just for fun, and some were commissioned for special events.

Many of my portraits are commissioned by pet owners who wish to remember a beloved member of the family who has passed on. All I need is one good photo to immortalize your loved one in a pyrographic portrait in wood. Prices vary with the desired size of the finished portrait and the complexity of the subject matter.
