I’m Marko Barakoski—a recent transplant to North Vancouver- I’m an artist and woodworker who specialises in functional, yet artful furniture, cabinetry, design/builds and wood prints.

Wood Prints

I make original, hand printed End Grain Relief Prints of already felled logs sourced from southern Ontario, South-western British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Simple—yet incredibly detailed, the prints find beauty in nature, providing another avenue to exhibit the diversity of the natural world.

Custom Prints

Trees become family members…and I hope what I make from them captures their history and beauty! Reach out to me if you have a tree that has—or will come down that you’d like to preserve a special memory from.

How to Read Rings

Framing

I do all the framing myself—the frames are made from Canadian Ash by suppliers local to the GTA, along with the glass and assembled in my shop. See standard sizes
