Etsy Find: Tiny Sparks Design

I'm crushing on these screenprints on wood from Etsy seller Tiny Sparks Design (aka San Francisco furniture designer and builder Brad Boggie).

Using sustainably (and often locally) harvested lumber, non-toxic inks, old-school woodworking tools, and plenty of elbow grease, Boggie creates each ready-to-hang piece by hand. I especially like his functional items:

Solid Birch Coat Rack, $50

Oak Keyholder With Skeleton Keys, $35

Bird and Trees on Figured Birch, $45

Rain Clouds on Elm, $45

Tree Rings on Oak, $45

Three Stitched Leaves on Birch, $35
