About me

Location	chicago, IL
Introduction	I have been wood burning since 1990. My mother is an artist and she allowed my siblings and I to explore with many different textures such as pottery, painting, drawing, woodburning, sculpting, wood carving, sewing, etc. There was never a dull day in my daily adventures as a child. My siblings chose their own avenues to express their talents while I focused on wood burning and carving. After my son was born in 2008, we acquired many wooden toys for him and my zeal for woodburning came alive again. I love to capture the beauty of nature in my work. The contrast of colors has always been appealing to me. And it is also very beneficial for children. I mostly use pine, maple, and birch woods because they burn easily and resist splintering. My work is hand sanded, burned and carved. I prefer the artistic expression enabled by hand-work for my creations rather than the precision of laser burning which you can find anywhere. I am willing to take suggestions or requests to make your wooden toys special for you and your family (some restrictions may apply). It is my hope that you and your children will enjoy Wooden Moose Creations also. Established April 2010.
