This West Point military academy piece was truly a joy to create. 🇺🇸🔥

Approximately 15 hours of wood burning went into every detail of this commission, created for a dear friend and gifted to her son. Projects like this remind me why I love pyrography so much — every burn tells a story, and every piece carries meaning far beyond the wood itself.

Thank you for trusting me with something so personal and important. ❤️

It was such a pleasure creating this custom wood burn for my dear friends, Kim & Daniel Boss of The Bosses 🤍 A dynamic seven-piece band. They commissioned this piece and gave me full creative freedom—asking only that I surprise them with the design.
Kim & Daniel have always been huge supporters of local artists, small businesses, and the community in general. They are truly two of the sweetest souls. Always bringing people together, they are pillars of the downtown Johnson City, Tennessee community. Be sure to follow their socials for show times! 🎶
This pyrography piece took about 8 hours to burn, and it was truly a labor of love 🫶
Burned into a beautiful, chunky acacia wood charcuterie board with iron feet, I added a little personal touch on the underside—just to give them a chuckle 🫶🍺
And the biggest honor of all… they loved it so much they used the design for their new merchandise!! I’m beyond flattered 🤍🔥
