It's early morning on the Pend Oreille River as the pilings of the old log corrals emerge from the mist over the river, like ghosts of the old lumber industry days. Once holding huge log rafts destined for the lumber mills in the vicinity, the pilings now serve as nesting sites for the many river birds.
Available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print
This piece is 32" x 12". The drawing printed on the mat board is of my original pencil drawing titled “River Hawk” of a parent Osprey standing guard while its fledgling devours whatever unfortunate fish came home for lunch. This is an old nest and is quite large, sitting atop two massive pilings still holding fast in the surging spring waters of the Pend Oreille River. Once the superstructure of large log corrals, which were just upriver from the lumber mills, the pilings are now nesting sites for the many water birds of the Pend Oreille. The handcrafted, custom frame is 2 species of wood, Black Walnut with Cherry insert.

All prints are available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print - I love custom orders!
Any print can be combined with a handcrafted, custom hardwood frame with or without a companion mat board.
Pictured are three styles of handcrafted moulding I currently produce, but I'm always open to new ideas and always working on my own new framing concepts.
Art Deco Mahogany: Any species of light colored wood with the rough bark left intact on the sides. I add Art Deco corner devices, and a high-gloss Mahogany finish. A unique contrast between the rough bark and the high-gloss finish for an intriguing presentation.
Art Deco Cherry w/Black Walnut: These frames are made from Cherry, which darkens over time, and uses Art Deco corner devices made of Black Walnut in varying arrangements.
Black Walnut: This Black Walnut moulding is clean, elegant and minimal, setting off the artwork nicely.
Although printed mat boards are one of my trademarks, the mat may also be clear of imagery and in its pristene condition.
Finally, I use anti-reflective, UV-resistent, museum-quality glass or acrylic to cover and protect my prints.
