Embercrest, 2025
A one-of-a-kind pyrography artwork by Rachel Smith, hand-burned on Live-Edge Basswood. Signed, dated, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
About the Work
Embercrest is an original pyrography piece created by Rachel Smith in 2025. Burned by hand on Live-Edge Basswood, its textures capture the natural grain of the wood, transforming it into a lasting work of fine art.
"When I first began Embercrest, I was struck by the quiet majesty of the turkey, often overlooked yet filled with a kind of noble presence. There is a certain pride in the way it holds itself, a stillness that commands attention without demanding it. I wanted to capture that feeling, the sense that even the most humble creatures have a story worth honoring. As I worked, the lines of its feathers and the textures of its form became more than just anatomy. They became a reflection of dignity, resilience, and quiet strength. Embercrest is my way of inviting you to pause, to see something familiar in a new light, and to feel the grace and character that exists in the world around us, sometimes in the most unexpected places. This piece is about noticing, honoring, and celebrating presence. When you look at it, I hope you feel the same reverence I felt while creating it and that it inspires a quiet, powerful connection with life and its subtleties."

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
To preserve the artwork's beauty and durability, please follow these simple care guidelines:
1. Cleaning:
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the polycrylic finish.
2. Handling:
• Handle the artwork with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
• If the piece is large or heavy, support it from the bottom rather than lifting it by protruding parts.
3. Placement:
• Display the artwork indoors and avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can cause fading or yellowing over time.
• Keep the artwork away from heat sources, such as radiators, fireplaces, or vents, to prevent warping.
• Maintain stable humidity levels to minimize the risk of wood expansion or contraction.
4. Protection:
• Although polycrylic provides a durable finish, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the artwork.
• If the piece is functional (like a tray or tabletop), consider using coasters or placemats to protect the surface from spills and scratches.
5. Touch-ups (if needed):
• Small scratches can sometimes be minimized by gently rubbing a tiny amount of paste wax over the area, then buffing lightly.
• For significant damage, consult a professional for refinishing advice.
By following these simple steps, your wood artwork will remain beautiful for years to come!
