Hand-burned jewelry from Lake Erie driftwood. A pyrography pendant, a driftwood necklace, a unique gift for a nature lover.

Follow the walks.

The Lake Makes the Material. The Storm Moves It. I walk the Lake Erie shoreline around Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, usually timing beachcombing trips to the weather. Some days, the beach gives up nothing. After a good blow, the shoreline can tell a different story. I'm looking for driftwood with character: sound pieces, interesting grain, knots, curves, and natural markings worth keeping. Living wood stays where it belongs. Treated lumber and punky, crumbling pieces stay out of the workshop. The finds come home, dry out for weeks, and eventually make their way to the bench. That's where the grain starts telling me what the piece wants to become. Follow the journey from storm to shoreline, shoreline to workbench, and raw wood to finished art.

Beach finds. New pieces. Booth dates. In the Letter.
