Hello, Kylee here from Big Wooden Heart.

The name actually started with me thinking well I love big artwork, all things timber and I have a big heart. I played around with a few words and there you have it Big Wooden Heart.

For awhile I made everything from fridge magnets, garden mushrooms, chopping boards, coat racks to name a few. It wasn’t until a few years later I found myself making more and more wooden hearts. I try to change it up a bit by doing different types of hearts like painting flowers, writing quotes, wood burning and abstract painting.
Must say though I do love making wooden crafts for the garden. Your garden is not complete until you have one of my NZ birds and fairy doors.

Everything I make is done in my very small workshop in the garage. I use a bandsaw, scroll saw and a belt sander and then finish everything off with a bit of hand sanding. Must say it is not my most favourite thing to do, thank goodness I have music in the back ground to keep me going.
Once all the dusty work is done, everything ends up on the kitchen table where I do all my drawing, wood burning and painting. Then it's back into the workshop to finish my items off with a clear coat of gloss OR Linseed oil. This process depends on the item I have made, indoor items have clear gloss and outdoor items are oiled.
All my timber is natural / untreated and I source it from a local timber yard and other woodworkers (lots of offcuts).

I really enjoy what I do and I'm very grateful for my supportive family (husband and 2 cats lol)
Cheers Kylee
