Spruce tree ring print | Spruce tree | Alberta | Spruce II

Sapwood + Soot creates tree ring prints using real tree cross-sections, also called tree cookies. While our specialty is personalized family tree ring prints, we create these ink and paper original and one-of-a-kind prints as well. Each of our hand-pressed prints is created using a piece of actual wood that has been salvaged, high quality watercolour paper created following sustainable forest management standards, and professional-grade print-making ink. We distress the pieces of wood so their growth rings become more exposed, and we then spread ink onto the wood and hand-press a piece of paper on top. The ink used is thick and rich, and adds a layer of texture. No two original ink and paper prints are the same. There may be imperfections with original prints, but we think that adds to the character.

This set of prints would make a perfect gift for a housewarming, birthday, holiday, or just because.

We aim to be as sustainable as possible in the creation of our personalized tree ring prints and we source salvaged wood for our prints. These tree ring prints are created manually from a 102 year old spruce tree that was removed due to insect damage.


The set of four 18x24 inch prints are meant to display next to each other. Each print is hand-pressed by me, and is made to order. 

PLEASE NOTE this listing is for an original ink and paper tree ring print. The paper may have creases due to the print-making process. This set of prints is NOT framed and comes rolled in a mailer tube or box.
