I hand craft each piece of my collection, shaping the wood, priming, painting, and adding a whole lot of creative elbow grease before I seal it for protection from the elements. They can be on a stand or hung on the wall, just let me know. Each piece is unique so they make wonderful gifts!
Dave's Wood Art designs run the gamut from well-loved cartoon characters for children, to mascots celebrating your home team, to decorative pieces for different holidays and every type of occasion. I love to do commissions so if you have something in mind, let's talk.
