Wooden Floral Arrangements

Wood Wildflowers is an amazingly successful effort by two craftsmen who happen to be father and son. Their workshop is nestled in the wilds of Northern Minnesota. Each of their wooden flower designs begins with miles of hiking and photographic research.

The wildflowers they choose to recreate in wood are selected based on their color, shape, and simple elegance. The flowers are then “reborn” from nature to art through amazing craftsmanship. Making wood flow into smooth, delicate curves to mimic flowers in nature is very difficult.

The final task is to develop a unique vase which is appropriate for each wooden floral arrangement. The various oaks and walnut trees provide the fine wood grains found in each vase. Inspiration for each vase design can come from almost anywhere. The silhouette of a bird on a pond in the morning will often inspire an entire week spent in the shop cutting out new vase shapes.
