story keeper: dancing dog
This piece is made from fir (circa 1920) from a granary in Idaho, old-growth redwood from a pickle brine barrel out of Oregon & a shelf from the pallet our 2022 calendars were shipped on from Canada. The final touch is the hand drawn & painted face. Story shown is 'extra room'
This includes a contemporary storyblock of your choice:
extra room: On the day you open your heart to a dog, don't be surprised when the whole rest of the world starts to fit in there, too.
OR
dog resolutions: Things I learned from our dog about resolutions: 1. The best resolutions are more playing, eating & sleeping. 2. Resolutions are a waste of time if you see a squirrel.

repurposed & handcrafted...
We have the deep joy of working with incredibly beautiful wood, sometimes from trees that are hundreds of years old... This means every piece that leaves our studio carries along its own history & is entirely unique.
The wood species will vary according to what we can source from local small businesses that share our ethos.
All our reclaimed wood products are made for you as soon as you place an order - which is why it may take us a day or two to get these out to you.
We shape, sand & wax each piece here in our studio. Woodcuts are done freehand. Unless stated otherwise, painted pieces have our unique bird & brush process: 4-6 layers of paint, graphite & ink (including a secret hand written wish between layers).
Our wood pieces come with a small card telling a bit about us & the piece, & are either wrapped in repurposed pages from old books or in an organic cotton bag.
