Curvaceous Driftwood

This curvaceous driftwood would make a great sign-post, a stand for an art piece or frame a piece of art or standing in the garden with trailing plants. I'll cut it down to your specifications or mount it on a base...your wish is my command...almost!

It stands 52" tall, 38" at its widest point. The curve's opening is 9" wide and 18" tall.

Driftwood sold across Canada

Since the last post,we've taken some of our driftwood, Barb's book"RV Canada On A Dime And A Dream" and 195 jars of brandied blackberry sauce on a 4 month cross country trip. We sold at markets, rodeos, pow-wows,and ended at an RV trade show. This beautiful piece decorated with baubles that's been on this page sold in Regina to a taxidermist. All my driftwood tables have sold along with many smaller pieces. Guess now I'll have to get busy and build more tables.

These pieces displayed currently could be used as wall hangings or garden ornaments. If there is a problem shipping them unfinished across the border(and still trying to get a straight answer on that), I'll clean them up and coat them with a natural oil.

Powell River driftwood is now in homes all across Canada. It could be in yours too.
With Christmas coming, if you are looking for a unique gift, put your order in now to have it in time.

Which way is up?




Which way is up for this unique piece of driftwood? It can stand on its head ... or is that its foot? Or, it can sit down pretty as a West Coast Christmas tree. A taxidermist might want to mount it on the wall for his displays. What ever way this beauty is set, it has infinite possiblities.
I'll soon be taking my driftwood art across Canada, so if you're interested, let me know where you are and we might hook up. Email me : dreambg1@shaw.ca Bigger displays available in our back yard.

A Triplet of Tables






Here on the west coast of BC, fall signals more time indoors to work on crafts. When he's not creating new beaded jewelry designs in front of a football or hockey game, Dave is creating new driftwood tables. The Mammoth table you saw in the rough is finished and gone to a good home. These shots show both its length and the heavy twisted wood that makes its head.


Since then he's finished a plant holder and a small end table shown here.Working with what nature has created means that Dave's driftwood art is one of a kind. From the moment we discover it on a beach and see its potential through the long and time consuming process of bringing it to its full beauty, there is anticipation of what the next creation reveals.


As I work on this post he is sequestered in the porch cleaning up a large Arbutus branch system(about 6ft.with arms reaching out about 4ft) that is covered in lumps and bumps. When it's sprayed black with gold flecks and mounted on a sturdy burl, it will be a unique West Coast Christmas tree.

This one never drops it needles and can be stored outdoors the rest of the year. Watch for the final picture of this extravagant imaginative "tree."
