Aslan Pyrograph

Aslan Box Pyrograph

I was very lucky to get my hands on this beautiful handmade box by Harry Wells. The edges of the lid are hand scalloped with a chisel to reveal a beautiful striped pattern from the ply layers. It reminded me of bite marks, which inspired me to use a lion for the lid decoration.

I’ve always loved the poster for “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” film and I thought it would be perfect for the lid. Also the scalloped edges look like rays of light coming out of Aslan so they seem doubly fitting.

This was also my first time experimenting with blending bottled inks on wood. If the blending is done properly the ink allows for seamless blending as you can see with the background which goes from dark navy, to blue to aquamarine to amber. Unlike paint which masks the wood, hides the grain and hides the burn lines, ink soaks into the wood, enhances the grain and allows the burned shading to come through.

Handmade Violin Coffee Table

Handmade Violin Shaped Coffee Table by Snazzie Designz

This table is of my own design. I purposefully designed the neck of the violin to bend downwards over the edge of the table in a melted fashion reminiscent of a Dali painting so that it wouldn’t stick out and catch in people walking by. The strings and f-curls are burned into the wood. The table is made from sapele wood and it shines like copper in the sunlight.

Rune and Swan Handmade Wooden Boxes

These handmade boxes were the very beginning of what has now become a long list of continuing collaborations between myself and Harry Wells collectively known as WellSnazzie collaborations.

The Rune Box

It all started with me making a set of runes for Harry. He decided that he wanted to make a box for them and asked if I would burn a Celtic owl onto some Baltic pine for him so that he could inset it into the box lid.

Celtic Owl and Rune Set

This was one of my very fist wood burning projects and everything was very rough around the edges compared to the impeccable and stunning work that Harry did on the box itself. The dark streaks in the beech wood are naturally occurring beech spalting caused by a fungus growing in the wood.
