Dave Glenn, artist, has been working with wood for over 55 years, and has personally designed the patterns for 98% of the items he makes, and 100% of all the items found in The Art Market. Since Dave is an award winning designer/artist, as well as the scroll saw craftsman, his pieces are unique and, the only items of their exact kind in the world!

Dave's awards are numerous and include many 1st and 2nd place ribbons, also several "Best in Category" and "Best in Show" awards.

There are only two of us doing this work (Dave's wife of 45+ years helps with quality control and finishing) so it is easier for us to control the quality. However, we must sometimes work twice as hard to keep up with the orders. Over the past decade, we have participated in craft shows and conventions (large, over 100,000 attendees, and small, less than 1,000 attendees) all over the southeastern United States including Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Florida. As well as winning awards for our work we have also won several awards for our display.

About the Materials used in making the Burl Art pieces: We use the burls from a variety of trees (mostly Maple) including the Redwood Burl harvested from forest fires. These burls are (for the most part) 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick and range in size from about 10 x 12 to 20 x 40. After applying our original pattern and cutting the wood, we spend ample time sanding, dipping, re-sanding, then spraying three (3) coats of lacquer. Lastly we apply a very simple background to highlight the removed portions of the piece.

About the Materials used in making the Framed Art: After Dave has completed the initial drawings and refined the drawings into a pattern, the wood used in producing the "Hand Made", "One-of-a-Kind", "One-at-a-Time" wild animal oriented art is selected from first quality Italian poplar or Baltic birch. Each piece is hand selected. Dave then transfers the original pattern to the wood and completes the piece by removing the "negative".

Dave really does enjoy designing, customizing, and producing one-of-a-kind special Personal, Corporate, Sports, or Wildlife Oriented pieces. It has been our pleasure over the years to customize over 500 pieces. This customization ranges from inserting names within a piece to complete design work; i.e. if you have a design (or need) in mind, we'll go to work drawing and producing a piece especially designed for you. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy owning one of Dave's creations.
