This art piece is a combination of reclaimed barnwood and a tree sculpture that was cut from 1/16" thick raw steel. There are multiple steps involved in the making and planning of this unique art piece.


The first part of the process involved developing the tree drawing, which I was able to duplicate onto the sheet of steel. This was cut with a plasma cutting tool to create the tree sculpture. I then took the steel and gave it an aged looking patina. The raw color steel with traces of rust to give it a natural earthy feel to the steel. I also clear coated the steel to preserve it. I then built the artwork on a solid backer board with a Black Ebony stained hardwood frame. Next, I applied all the barnwood strips that vary in thickness from 1/8” to 3/4" to give the art piece some depth.

All the strips of wood are completely natural in color, there are no stains that has been applied to the inner pieces. I then applied two coats of Zero VOC water based sealer to preserve the art piece. Once finished, I was able to drop the steel tree sculpture into place and installed another frame that locks it in place.

Each art piece is hand signed and dated in the back and I also make a custom made laser engraved wood name tag on the side of the piece.

I also include a heavy duty mounting bracket.

All my art pieces are made using very old wood from barns and homes taken down in my area.

Hi My name is Craig Forget and I am a reclaimed wood artist

I feel that I am part of the large art movement that has been growing in the Detroit and Windsor area, it is great to be part of this movement. It is also great to be able to express myself through art. I am in it for the long haul, I believe in producing the most unique art pieces with the most unique wood that I can find. I always feel that it is the old, reclaimed wood that makes my pieces unique.


I have been influenced by woodworking from a very young age and recently I have found my true passion for building unique artwork and furniture out of reclaimed barn wood. What I love about the materials that I work with is that you never know what types of wood you are going to find in the local barns that range from 80 to 200 years of age. You could say I am like a kid in a candy store.


What makes my artwork and furniture so unique is that I am always on the hunt for unique types of wood that will create an impressive piece. I especially enjoy working with wood that is bursting with character. There are no faux finishes in the world that can duplicate the colors and textures that Mother Nature creates, 95% to 100% of the colors you see on my art pieces have not been stained what you see is the natural color of the wood. When wood is aged for 80 to 100 years, it turns naturally dark in color.
The darker brown natural woods were those aged within a barn, while grey boards have been weathered outside.
When you are buying one of my pieces, you are also buying a piece of Pioneer history, when power tools were almost non-existent.
