This wood burned and painted scene has a black bear sitting in a patch of bee balm holding out a flower for a ruby throated hummingbird. Inspired by the black bear and hummingbirds that visit our home.

No trees are ever damaged in the making of our ornaments. Each ornament I make is from a fallen tree limb. Either fallen on my property, or found on one of our hikes through the forest. Hence our company name, Forage :)

The ornament is sliced from the branch and sanded in three steps before I wood burn an organic design onto it. Each image is done free hand, so no two are exactly alike. Finished with a water based poly, for a satiny smooth finish. The finish is also essential to prevent cracking or damage to your wooden keepsake. The hemp hanging string is further adorned with a semiprecious green aventurine bead.

Ornament size is approximately 3-3.5" .

Naturally occurring imperfections are present in every piece of wood. Nothing is perfect, but that's what we love about Nature! We are currently using maple for our ornaments.

Lets plant trees together! Forage will contribute a portion of every sale to the Arbor Day Foundation!
