Banjo. Ukulele. Fire. – New Pyrography Drop Inside
Hey there Reader, This week, the music came through the wood. I’ve just added new pyrography wall pieces that sing with Appalachian spirit and southern charm, ready for the Graves Mountain Music Festival. Cutouts are from poplar and burned by hand, each line a tribute to rhythm, roots, and the kind of melodies you can only hear in the quiet between forest winds.

The Banjo Doesn’t Play — But It Still Speaks
There’s a song you can’t always hear — but you feel it. In campfire embers. In mountain air. In the hush between fiddle notes.It’s the sound of home, memory, and the slow rhythm of a heart that beats close to the land. At Smoky Wood Studios, we’ve burned that feeling — not into strings, but […]
