A custom, personalized cane for a loved one. Salvaged from a branch of green ash, this cane was smoothed down and personalized with a Welsh "love spoon" design that was also lightly carved out. The naturally thicker end was shaped into a comfortable handle for support. A convenient rubber boot that unscrews revealing a spike tip for softer ground hugs the end of the cane perfectly. From there, the branch was coated with dark walnut stain and the spoons were left the natural ash color before generously glossed.

Pyrography was introduced to Julie by her grandmother Maxine, who also had a love of nature and art. Pyrography soon became a calming and rewarding expression of her artistic notions. When first working with wood, Julie discovered it was an uncommon medium among other local artists. This intrigue soon led to nature inspired artwork utilizing Julie's ideas, along with client's ideas for custom orders. Sharing a sense of beauty and style with her customers, she enjoys being driven by their input as she creates unconventional pieces. Bold textures, colors and designs are formed by her own unique processes. These methods include pyrography, carving, painting, staining, glossing and much more.
