Special Projects
Because every woodburning is an
individually created, unique item, each one is special. No two
woodburnings are exactly alike. That is parts of the charm of
having a project prepared just for you. When you have a particular
subject that is dear to you—either because of nostalgia (a family
homestead, for example), or because of a special bond (such as between a
pet and its owner); or your desire to have something created for
you—unlike anything anyone else would ever have—then a specially
designed and created woodburning, a one-of-a-kind project can be
something that endears itself to you for a lifetime.
In
some cases, a specially created woodburning itself has become a family
treasure, an heirloom it its own right. This is particularly true
when commissioned of a place that no longer exists—or may only exist in
pictures and memories.In recent years, the range of these special projects has grown to include such things as woodburnings of the ruins of castles and abbeys, St. Basil’s Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow, commemorative plates and plaques, and an unusually large woodburning of a pack of wolves in northern Minnesota!
Maybe you have an idea for a
project that will challenge Don’s creative skills and give you something
that you have always wanted—a treasure that is truly you own.
Yours because it will be only one of its kind ever created.For a quote on a specially commissioned woodburning—anything from a pet portrait to the family homestead—or something out of your own imagination—contact Don at don@woodburningsbydon.com and he will be happy to discuss your project with you. He will explain how the process works. He often works from pictures, either sent via email, or through regular mail.
When you send the pictures, also include a phone number where you can be reached. Don likes to discuss a special order project with the client before quoting an actual price. It is important to insure there is a clear understanding regarding the project, size, time frame and any special details or other pieces of information necessary to insure that the project is what you envision.
A 50% deposit is required on all special orders prior to commencing the project. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for completion of the project, unless other arrangements have been made.
