Welcome to Wood on Water, located on Passamaquoddy Bay in
the historic seaside community of Eastport, Maine in Washington County.
We specialize in wood-burned and hand-painted distinctive giftware and home
furnishings.
Woodburning, or pyrography, literally means "writing with fire", and
is the art of using an electric "pen", or stylus, to etch designs into
wood and other natural materials. Various pen tips can be used interchangeably
to burn in desired effects such as shading and shadows. In the days before electricity,
the woodburning tool for this ancient art was heated in the hearth's fire. Once
the image is burned onto the wood, color may be added as well as a stain or finish.
Choose from an extensive inventory of themes ranging from nautical to historical.
All pieces are original, unique, and handcrafted in our workshop in Eastport,
Maine.
Some popular choices include document/keepsake boxes, treasure chests, and
lap desks. Browse to view our newest pieces or contact us directly about custom
orders such as pet portraits and/or urns for your beloved dog, cat, bird, or
other pet. Custom chair rails, baseboards, wildlife scenes, and local or antique
maps can also be created. Perhaps you have a favorite flower or would like a
wood-burned piece which highlights your boat. The options are limited only by
your imagination.
