Hello and Welcome to this process of transforming this Cedar Root into an Abstract Art piece of two amazing creatures...possibly sea creatures ?? You tell me what you see.

From preparation to finishing, I’ll guide you through every step of the process. Whether you’re restoring driftwood for art, furniture, or simply to celebrate its natural charm—this is the place to start.

Well in this video I show one way to create an incredible work of art !! It can be intimidating when you first begin a process like this. Just take your time and enjoy the journey. I hope your wood working projects take similar progressions. Please reach out to me and share your projects!! You can reach my via email at:

I come across old pieces of lumber on the beach, at the Lake, and even just out in a field. Depending on the size and quality, these pieces can be a fun project for beginners and seasoned craftsmen.
