Fangorn Forest

Fangorn Forest is a hand-burned journey into the wilder side of a forest—a place of twisting vines, unfurling ferns, curious fungi, insects, wildflowers, and the small creatures that inhabit the forest floor. Inspired by the woodland life surrounding my home in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, the design grows and wanders across the tabletop before continuing down each of its three legs, as though the forest itself has begun to reclaim the furniture. Every element is individually drawn and burned by hand, transforming a simple table into a functional piece of art—one meant to be lived with, explored, and discovered a little at a time.

⚜️ UNDERSTORY: I came to pyrography almost by accident. While researching papercut art, I happened across an old Flickr photograph of an art student's thesis project—a chair that had been woodburned from top to bottom.

I was gobsmacked! There was something about taking an ordinary piece of furniture and covering it with burned pattern that completely captured me. I'd never owned a pyrography burner and had no experience with the medium, but I had the strangest certainty that I needed to try it. I just knew.

Perhaps a sensible person would have started with something small but I wanted to burn a table.

So I bought my first burner and set about covering nearly every square inch of one—across the tabletop, around the edge, down the legs, even across the underside. I filled it with the leaves, flowers, ferns, insects, mushrooms, and other little bits of the natural world that I love, letting the imagery accumulate until the table became its own small wild place.

I was so pleased with that first experiment that I made another. And, as it turned out, what began with a chance photograph and one rather ambitious first project became the beginning of my work in pyrography.

Each Fangorn Forest table is created using a fine-tipped burning pen. Rather than drawing the botanical forms themselves, I burn around them, allowing the natural wood to become the lightest part of the design. The pattern travels across the tabletop, around its edge, and down each of the three legs, with repetitive marks, texture, and wood grain becoming part of the finished piece.
