Home Décor

First, the materials. I work the same hardwoods here as I do in the cutting board line — walnut, maple, cherry, ash — because the species that build a heirloom kitchen surface also build a heirloom wall piece. Because the wood is the story, every piece ships unpainted and unstained. As a result, the colour you see when it arrives is the wood’s own, and it deepens with light and use over the years.

What makes Northern Prairie handcrafted wood decor different

Most wall art online is printed canvas, resin cast, or laser-engraved softwood. Meanwhile, every piece in this category is solid hardwood — carved, sanded, and finished one at a time. Most importantly, the figure of the specific blank cannot be reproduced. The CNC pattern can be cut again, but the grain of this particular piece exists nowhere else.

How to hang one

Start with the room. So a quiet corner reads a small piece; a mantel reads a medium piece; an entryway reads a statement piece. Either way, the relief catches light from a low angle and the shadows shift through the day. Afterwards, the surface darkens slowly with the room’s warmth.

Care, custom work, and shipping

First, dust with a soft dry cloth. Second, avoid direct sunlight on the same face for years on end. Finally, a light wipe of furniture wax once a year keeps the wood deepening. Custom carvings cut on request — initials, names, scripture, family imagery. Ships from Virden, Manitoba via Canada Post with tracking, wrapped flat in a rigid box.
