3D Driftwood Art
  • Wood. The most widely used commodity in
    our daily lives-and the most ignored. Parts of
    noble trees, washed upon the shore or
    lakeside; broken, lifeless trash to the human
    eye. Except to the person who knows how to
    breathe new life into them, leaving his
    fingerprints upon the art he creates.

  • Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is
    Tommy Winn, and I have had a passion for
    Driftwood since I collected my first piece at
    the age of five. To someone, they'd be
    nothing more than hunks of gnarled, twisted
    wood, but they speak to me of mighty birds
    of prey, habitats for colorful fish, rugged
    horses and powerful Indians that will
    eventually speak to you of works of art,
    gracing your home, office or landscape.

  • Let me share with you the lengthy process
    that goes into my artwork. First, the
    driftwood is collected at various locations.
    Only the most unique and interesting pieces,
    some perhaps, hundreds of years old,  are
    selected. The wood is sprayed with an
    insecticide, wrapped and stored for three
    weeks. Afterword, each piece is cleaned and
    sanitized, and allowed to dry in the air and
    sun for three months to as long as three to
    ten years. During that time, the wood returns
    to a natural dead tree color - chalky white.
    Now comes the first important step in the
    creative process. However the wood speaks
    to me, using a technique I conceived,
    different shades and highlights are
    emphasized in the wood's texture until the
    right effect is achieved, changing to a certain
    extent, the personality of the piece. It is no
    longer a dead, useless thing. It is alive again,
    waiting to be used as either a decorative
    accent, a eight foot Eagle's Nest, a coffee
    table or Tiki-Bar.

  • Only the highest quality, hand-selected resin
    figures are incorporated into the now-ready
    Driftwood to create a work of Natural Art.
    What happens next is no easy task. The
    process is time-consuming, and must be
    painstakingly accurate and carefully
    executed. One wrong move could cause
    irreparable damage, ruining the artwork.

  • Over the years, I have had the pleasure of
    seeing my clients attracted to that one piece
    that they claim   "Speaks to them." Many
    customers have chosen a specific decorating
    theme, and request more customized Art that
    will either hang on a wall, grace a table or
    desk, or become a part of there landscape.
