"Every piece of wood is like a snowflake, no two will ever be the same... it is natures art."  The same goes for the art that Ike Wilhelm creates. " I take a wood panel that has an interesting grain and highlight the individual grain patterns with intense colors using custom wood dye. It is then finished with a catalyzed lacquer to give it a bright and durable finish ". He also makes the custom frames for every piece and does custom frames for customers.
