These wooden toppers made in your likeness are handmade of sustainably harvested fast growing poplar wood. Each one is custom painted using U.S. made, non-toxic water-based paints according to the artist. The finishing coat consists of a homemade bee’s wax and organic jojoba oil finish.

Simply send your photo to the artist and watch your image, that of your sweetheart (and your furry sweethearts if you have any) transferred onto wood.

We love it!
