John Wayne Scortched Pine and Fir Wood Pyrography 1985

Description

Rustic woodburned portrait wall plaque
Featuring John Wayne
By Oregon Original Rustics
Heat-carved (pyrography) on solid wood
United States, dated 1985

Primary Description

This rustic wall plaque features a heat-carved portrait of John Wayne executed directly into a solid wood panel using pyrography techniques. The image is burned into the surface rather than printed or applied, creating tonal depth through controlled heat and grain interaction.

The portrait is framed by a hand-assembled wood surround constructed from Oregon pine and fir, with scorched and stained surfaces that emphasize grain variation and natural imperfections. Decorative corner detailing is also burned into the wood, framing the oval portrait without the use of applied materials.

The reverse retains the original maker’s label for Oregon Original Rustics, along with handwritten notes reading “Frame Oregon Pine & Fir – 1985 – USA,” confirming both material and date.
