WildFire Artistry is back!
« on: March 23, 2016, 11:45:00 PM »
Hi, everyone!  Been a while...last couple years I haven't been on here much and haven't accepted any new orders for the carving/wood burns that I do.  Job and family stuff cut down on my time to spend on the computer and to do my art.  I see alot of familiar names and alot of new ones.  It's good to be back!  

Got a little burnt out on the wood burning.  At one time a couple years ago I had 25-30 orders on my waiting list who had sent in deposits.  I think having all those to do weighed on me and contributed to my burn out.  So, this time around I am going to do things a little different. But I am excited to be taking orders again!

This time I am only going to take one or two deposits at a time.  If there is enough interest, I will keep a waiting list of people to contact as I finish each piece to see if they are still interested.  

Please see my post with the same title "WildFire Artistry is back!" in sponsor classifieds for more specifics on ordering. I do have a website, but not sure I am allowed to post it since I am not a full sponsor, but it is pretty easy to figure out.  

Please note the website has not been updated in years.  The software I used to manage it was lost when my laptop died.  I plan on eventually fixing it, but it is not a priority.  Just don't pay any attention to the "waiting list" on there.  The Gallery is interesting because the top is the very first piece I did and I added them as I went, so you can see my improvement as you page down.  Unfortunately, many newer pieces are not on there because I cant update it.

I am going to use this post to show some of the work I have done in the past and most were for TradGang members.
Many are my personal favorites.

 

This one I did for the St Judes Auction.  And, by the way, I have listing in this years auction!  Bid high for the kids!

This one has no carving, just a flat burn on wood, it hangs on my wall!

That's too cool!

I'll definitely keep this in mind for someday when I need something special for someone.

Thanks for sharing!

Indeed, Chip...amazing to see that talent again. You did one of Biggie with a moose didn't you? We watched that one come to life here as you added detail...totally amazing.

Thanks for your update on Garrett on the prayer forum, too...so good to see him doing so well!

Easter Blessings to you and yours!

Greybeard,  Thank you, Sir!  Always appreciate your prayers.  Garrett is currently doing great and all the prayers has a lot to do with it!

Doc, yes, and Daniel (can't remember his full handle) brought that thread back to the top if you want to see it again.

Jarhead, thanks for the compliment!  That piece is for sale, but the price would be pretty steep to get it off my wall!  Lol!

Danny, saw one of your posts on the Biggie thread and wondered if you were still around...glad to see you are!

Well, took a deposit today for the first order I have accepted in a couple years.  Thanks, Phil!  

I will take one more then just keep a list of folks who are interested to contact as I finish one.
