VanEss Expressions ~ creating unique & unusual, handcrafted wood home decor & home furnishings. Each piece is an original design, individually handcrafted by us.
Our very popular 'Family Tree' (for mantel or wall). ~ The one shown displays 12 photos (6 on each side) and makes a wonderful centerpiece. Can be custom made for any size family - if necessary, we can make you a forest. A great gift for parents or perfect addition to your own home decor.
For the Home or Office ~ Handcrafted, one-of-a-kind wood candle holders, desk accessories, flower vases, and more. Have something special in mind? We take custom orders.
Unique Hand-Turned Vases & Bowls ~ Each piece is individually turned, either from a solid piece of wood or from glued up stock. By combining different woods, you get beautiful color contrasts and wonderful designs. Each piece is a unique 'one-of-a-kind'. No two are exactly alike - ever.
Unique Handcrafted Wood Clocks ~ desk clocks, mantel clocks, wall clocks. To the left is our best selling desk clock - the 'Pendulum'. The separate clock piece hangs from two graceful arches. The one shown combines Ash and Walnut. An unusual yet functional gift that is sure to be appreciated.
VanEss Expressions is more than vases & bowls. VanEss Expressions is a small Minneapolis family business, creating unique & unusual, original & custom wood gifts, clocks, home decor & home furnishings, hand-turned vases & bowls, and distinctive wood furniture.
VanEss Expressions is all about Wood
All of our pieces are 100% solid hardwood ~ no pine, plywood, or laminates. We use a variety of wood stains & dyes to enhance the grain or add color- but we never paint wood.
VanEss Expressions is all about Quality
Each item is individually & personally handcrafted by us ~ from the original design, to the selection of the wood, to the very last coat of varnish ~ and we do it one piece at a time.
VanEss Expressions is all about Customer Satisfaction
We stand behind our work and work with our customers. Most of our sales are from repeat business or referrals ~ and that's the way we like it.
