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.

TESTIMONIALS

HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS MADE BY CLIENTS WE HAVE MADE PIECES FOR:

1) FROM DAVE AND HOLLY HARGIS, ABOUT THEIR CUSTOM PET URN-

"Zack's box came today and it is just beautiful! Thank you so much for the wonderful craftsmanship, and love that you put into the piece. It is a fitting resting place for Zack's ashes and belongings. I will certainly recommend your work!"

2) FROM LORI MONACO- WE DID A CUSTOM 12" BY 12" LAP DESK FOR HER " QUIET SPACE" WHERE SHE RELAXES AND MEDITATES-

"This magnificent work of Art is beyond anything I could have expected, and is far more beautiful than the pictures of it had shown(and I loved the pictures!) I cannot thank you enough, for all of your patience and time, that this creative process took. The tree is magnificent, and the background is gorgeous! Every detail is perfect. If there was a fire, besides pictures of my children, I would grab this work of art, it is priceless! With much gratitude, Lori Monaco.
