"The Curious Forage"

15" x 16" x 1.75" original wood burning on salvaged spalted maple

When was the last time you let curiosity guide you? The last time that you stopped to notice the life that sprouts through the forest floor, weaving beneath you. Remember to take a moment, notice it all. A world of possibilities lies at your feet, if you look a little closer.

Meet The Curious Forage.

The design of this piece is heavily inspired by my past works from limited series Life In Decay, The Lovely & The Deadly. 

The Curious Forage is an original wood burning on spalted maple cookie that has been sourced locally here in Ontario. This piece in particular is from a small wood shop that salvages and mills trees in their own forest only that have fallen from storms. 

This piece has been sealed with non-toxic, water-based polycrylic to ensure the integrity of the artwork and the wood. 

Included with the artwork is a keyhole hook installed into the back of piece for easy-hanging, a hand-burned signature and title on the back, as well as a Certificate of Authentication from the artist. Hannah offers free international shipping on all original work. 

Dimensions are measured edge to edge of the wood including any bark. Images have been taken to showcase the artwork as accurately as possible, however variations of colour and texture may differ slightly from your screen to real life.

Upon purchase of this piece, please allow up to 5 business days for Hannah to prepare your order for shipment.

Process

All original and custom art is diligently designed, drawn and hand-burned by pyrography artist Hannah Veiga. She has spent years honing her skills as an artist and practicing the techniques she uses today to render distinctive compositions inspired by the nature that surrounds us, giving sustainably sourced wood a second life as unique works of art.

Each piece of wood is cut and sanded by Hannah up to a super smooth 320 grit to create the perfectly primed surface for burning. Using a state of the art wood burning system, the artist yields heat-controlled metal tips to manipulate burn marks into an intricate, hand-drawn design.

A UV protective finish is applied to nourish the wood and ensure the integrity of the artwork.

Specifications

The wood used is raw-cut and live-edge, kiln dried to a low moisture reading and then sanded up to 320 grit by Hannah.

Dimensions listed are in inches, measured from edge to edge of the wood including the bark. Measurements will be shown as Height x Width x Depth.

Each piece is finished with a hook on the back, appropriate to hold the weight of the piece. Hardware for handing is not included. For heavier pieces over 5lbs it is recommended to use a drywall plug/anchor.

Shipping Information

Shipping within Canada can take 1-7 business days, USA orders 5-10 business days and International orders up to 3 weeks. This may vary based on time to get through customs and cannot be guaranteed. Shipping of original artwork may not be available to your country doe to customs restrictions; for example, Australia has very strict guidelines on import of live edge wood, which does not allow me to send original or custom artwork.
