Frequently Asked Questions
We want your experience of commissioning a custom burn to be as smooth and rewarding as the final piece. Here are the most common questions about my process.
What are the typical pricing ranges?
Every project is unique. Pet portraits & signs generally range from $40 to $200 depending on complexity and wood size. Bible verse signs and name plaques typically start around $60. I provide a firm quote after we discuss your specific vision.
What is the production timeline?
Each piece from Burnt Bark Co. is meticulously hand-burned, which takes time and care. Smaller pieces typically take several hours, while larger or more detailed designs may require 1–2 days—or sometimes longer for especially big projects. Production times can also vary depending on the number of orders in the queue, so every piece receives the attention it deserves to ensure the highest quality finish.
Can I request design revisions?
Yes. I provide digital mockups for your approval. Before the burn begins, I ensure the composition and details align perfectly with your story.
How should I care for the piece?
Every Burnt Bark Co. piece is created by hand and sealed for durability — but proper care will help it last for years to come.
Indoor Home Décor
All interior pieces are finished with a clear protective coat to guard against everyday dust and handling. To care for your piece:
-
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
-
Do not use harsh cleaners or abrasive materials
Outdoor Pieces
Outdoor signs and décor are sealed with spar urethane, designed to protect against UV rays, rain, moisture, and temperature changes. While they are made to withstand the elements, I recommend:
-
Installing under a covered porch or overhang when possible
-
Avoiding constant ground contact or standing water
-
Reapplying a protective outdoor sealant every 1–2 years for maximum longevity
Wood is a natural material and may expand, contract, or develop character over time — this is part of its beauty and uniqueness.
If you ever have questions about caring for your specific piece, I’m always happy to help.
