About Us
We are David & Dominica. We are a husband and wife woodworking team from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Founded on a love for faith, craftsmanship and creativity, each piece is designed and burned by hand, ensuring that no two creations are ever the same. What began as a small hobby has grown into a full-time passion, blending artistry, patience, and precision to bring natural materials to life through fire. We are followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ and want to share the Gospel with everyone we meet. Our artwork is one of the ways in which we do that.
We also share a deep appreciation for nature, art, and storytelling. My husband does all of the cutting, sanding and finishing while I do all of the artwork. It’s a team effort!. Together, we try to ensure that every piece carries warmth, authenticity, and a personal touch.
FAQ’s
The art of drawing with fire by decorating wood or other materials using controlled heat. We use specialized tools to burn intricate designs, patterns, and lettering into the surface. The process requires a steady hand, careful temperature control, and an eye for detail. Each stroke leaves a permanent mark, creating artwork that is both rustic and refined.
Creating a custom pyrography piece is a labor of love. Depending on the size, complexity, and level of detail, a single artwork can take anywhere from several hours to several weeks to complete. Every design begins with a hand-drawn sketch, followed by careful burning, shading, and finishing. The process cannot be rushed—each line must be deliberate to achieve the desired depth and tone.
Pyrography requires high-quality tools, durable woods, and finishing materials to ensure longevity and beauty. Most, but not all, of these materials are added into the final cost. Expenses include: professional-grade pyrography pens and tips, natural wood pieces such as plaques and live-edge slabs. Sanding, sealing, and finishing supplies. Safety equipment and ventilation systems. Custom packaging and shipping materials.
All of these materials are needed to ensure quality and craftsmanship of every Praise & Promise creation.
We love creating beautiful burnings that are nature-themed. However, we also love creating functional pieces that bring folks together for a fun time. Although we do sometimes create boards with popular mainstream themes, our favorite pieces to make are the ones that are conversation starters and the ones that reflect the Word of God.
If you request a piece featuring a popular animated-theme, please know that Scripture will be inscribed into the work. You are free to choose the verse, or we can choose on your behalf. We do not create any pieces that do not align with our faith.
My Testimony
Excerpt…
My testimony is quite different than my husbands; it’s quite different than a lot of peoples. It’s not just a testimony of being lost and then found. No, mine is one of being pulled straight from darkness and into the light; of being on the edge of an open grave…to being raised to new life.
