What fish is etched in your soul?
Tarpon on Cherry. One example of a texture created by decades of natural growth that celebrates the fish that lives in your mind.
Etch it into the grains of aged fallen wood from our mountains. Burger Premium Woodworks and HowardFilms are creating these from our local aged wood for you or those in your organization. It’s as unique a gift as one could share. When a Virginia Cherry tree is reclaimed—from old barns, fallen timbers, forgotten homesteads, or responsibly harvested Virginia woodlands—its grain carries the marks of everything it has lived through: streaks of mineral from the soil, soft waves from slow Appalachian growth rings, and the subtle pink-gold glow that only cherry gets after decades of oxidation. Each board becomes a sort of natural time capsule.
That’s why reclaimed Virginia Cherry is so perfect for a permanent memory piece.
It already holds a story before yours is ever added. We’re not just preparing a surface—we’re revealing the quiet, beautiful history inside the wood.
And then we add yours.
