Pyrography - the art of decorating wood with heated tools.
Also known as wood burning.

At Nicholson Ridge I take wooden bowls of various sizes and styles, plaques, wall hangings, magnets, ornaments and more - wood burn and stain them with watercolor paint. Each item is unique, no two are exactly alike. Kenneth Nicholson, Brenda Nicholson (that's me), Earl Rice or Harold Crook hand turns wooded bowls that are made from a single piece of wood. Then I design them into individual works of art. I burn the designs into the wood and then stain with watercolors. They are then sealed with three (3) coats of water based polyurethane. Each bowl takes 3 to 20 hours to complete. Wall hangings are made from local wood. Kenneth cuts the wood and then I plane it and then decorate it with woodburning and painting. I also wood burn plaques, ornanaments, and magnets. I have been doing pyrography since June 2000. I am a self taught artist.

Shown are designs that I have done in the past. I may not have this exact item. If you will email me your request I will check my stock and if I do not have this item, I can put it on a bowl, or plaque for you.

100% satisfaction guaranteed.* (Shipping charges are not refundable.)

Lakemont Gallery in Lakemont, Georgia now has Nicholson Ridge bowls and more.

Note: These wood bowls are not perfect. They may have knot holes that have been filled, or streaks in the wood grain. They may not be level or perfectly round.
