Customer Testimonials

"I have to give this piece that Gary did for me 5/5 stars. It's easily the favorite of my home decorations/art. I was blown away by just how much this art captured the essence of my dog. It's beautiful, unique, and a perfect likeness to my dog. People always ask about it when they visit. If Gary is setting up a show in your area, you need to check out his work!"

If anyone is thinking about having Gary curate your four-legged family member into your personal creation, think no more, DO IT! You will receive a work of art that is priceless. Gary is very involved and thorough when piecing together your portrait. To get the project "picture perfect" he will ask questions and get your approval before moving forward. On the back of his artwork, he notates the types of wood used and exactly how many pieces of wood that were puzzle-pieced together.

The bonus was the beautiful box Gary hand-crafted for delivery. So much care was taken to safely ship the portrait.

What a wonderful gift to give if you are not ordering for yourself."

I just received the piece and it's incredible, I adore it!  Sydney really does blend right in with her old favorite spot on the table in front of the window. Gary did a phenomenal job of capturing her personality and I am so grateful!"

Highly recommend "Dakota Wood Art!!!" He made this beautiful, handcrafted wood piece of Zoey for me. 140 wood pieces, 6 different kinds of wood - no staining either, all natural!!! Reach out to him if you'd like one of your fur animal.
