Introducing my second piece of the "au board de l'eau" collection and featured in Scroll Saw Magazine in 2024. 
 
"Havre du homard", translating to "Lobster haven" is an intarsia wood art piece that pays homage to the maritime heritage of New-Brunswick, specifically drawing inspiration from the hardworking lobster fishermen of the small coastal village I'm from, Petit-Rocher. 
 
Handcrafted from exotic zebrawood and locally sourced dark-walnut, each piece showcases the lobsters unique features, from the distinctive claws to the intricate patterns on their shells. The wood's natural textures and hues bring out the lobster's essence, reminiscent of their habitat in the cool, clear waters of the Atlantic.
 
This wood art piece is a heartfelt ode to the lobster's significance in New Brunswick's culture and economy. Lobster fishing isn't just a profession; it's a way of life. This piece pays tribute to the dedication of the lobster fishermen who venture out to sea to bring back the finest catch, embodying the essence of the maritime spirit as I hoped to encapsulate the beauty and importance of lobsters in the heart of our coastal community.
 
Due to the handcrafted nature of this artwork, wood grain and staining patterns will vary, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
