When it comes to process, Lisa is a traditionalist
with an eclectic flair. She uses a band saw or
router to cut the initial shapes for her designs
and does the rest of the work with hand tools,
leaving most pieces unsanded to achieve an
organic, rippled surface texture. “I prefer this
quiet, unplugged method of woodworking,
creating a finished piece that reflects the time
and contemplation invested in creating it,” Lisa
said. She carved her 12" (31.1cm) square
Elemental Cross
out of mahogany. Find Lisa at

“I create lots of wood burned art…but sound waves are my favorite
because of the memories I get to be a part of,” Katrin said. She bases
her projects on music, voice and video clips, and baby heartbeats. She
burned this 12" by 24" (30.5cm by 61cm) piece on birch using sound clips
of a couple’s wedding vows. All pieces are finished with a UV-blocking
polyurethane spray. Find Katrin on Facebook at FIREArt by Katrin.

Rohit and his brother, Mohit, learned ornamental carving from their
father, Mahesh. Rohit hand-carved every element in
Miniature
Flower Pot
—down to the tiny houseflies—from sandalwood, which
he prefers because of its “malleable characteristics and delicate
natural fragrance.” It stands at 10" by 24" (25.4cm by 61cm). For
