{"product_id":"daryl-butricks","title":"Daryl Butricks","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaryl was born and raised in Prescott. He loves his hometown in Prescott and\u003cbr\u003eloves the forest that surrounds the town. Daryl found his passion for wood and\u003cbr\u003eunique wood grains during his Junior High School days when schools still offered\u003cbr\u003ewood shop classes. There is nothing like the smell and the beauty of different\u003cbr\u003ewood grains. Wood is a divine and perfect canvas for his art. He names his\u003cbr\u003epieces after the areas he finds the rough burls. The wood could be laying in\u003cbr\u003ecreek beds or under large amounts of debris. He incorporates the colors of epoxy\u003cbr\u003einto his work. Daryl has a gift to see the beauty in the wood while dirty and\u003cbr\u003eoxidized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaryl managed two local Oak furniture stores and became educated in wood\u003cbr\u003edecoration. He moved on to a career with the Yavapai Juvenile Probation\u003cbr\u003eDepartment for 19 years and Mental Health Management for 15 years. During\u003cbr\u003ethat time he also was raising his son to enjoy wood art. They built 1920 and 30s\u003cbr\u003ewood nostalgic cars and trucks from scratch. They showed the art pieces at the\u003cbr\u003elocal fair and won many ribbons and trophies. When his son grew and moved\u003cbr\u003eaway Daryl still kept his passion moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaryl and his wife Lissa have searched the local forest for that perfect burl or root\u003cbr\u003eball to sculpt into beautiful art pieces. In 2020 he decided that he would source\u003cbr\u003elive edge wood from mills across the state and start his hobby business. Daryl\u003cbr\u003esells live edge wood slabs and burls from his home to artists and wood\u003cbr\u003eenthusiasts from all over the state. He then gets to select his choice wood for his\u003cbr\u003estudio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaryl Butricks\u003cbr\u003eWood Artist\u003cbr\u003eBigfoot Woodworks on Facebook\u003cbr\u003ehomed37@hotmail.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prescott Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55863028056355,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/7578\/1667\/files\/Daryl.png?v=1793104706","url":"https:\/\/prescottfineart.com\/products\/daryl-butricks","provider":"Prescott Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
