VIVID STABILIZED WOODS

VIVID Stabilized woods is a small family business located in Gaston, Oregon, USA, owned and operated by Susan Curington and Les Dougherty, who are both artists in their own disciplines. Susan is an acrylic painter who specializes in nature and all of its beauty, whereas Les works with nature, crafting wood products into wonderful pieces of art. Like many others, they were hit hard by economic downfall in 2008, finding themselves having to rebuild from tough times. They knew that they needed to find new ways to make the best of what they had... VIVID's product lines are nearly all sourced locally, centering around highly figured Big Leaf Maple, a species of wood that is found exclusively in the Pacific Northwest. Through stabilization, the wood is no longer subject to shrinking or cracking that you would experience from traditional raw wood. And, when stabilizing these woods, various dyes are used to create a plethora of stunning visuals that are sure to catch anyone's eye... What..
