Enquire About ArtworkMaterials & Craftsmanship
Each Western Woodcuts piece begins with solid hard maple and is carefully engraved, finished and polished to bring warmth, depth and character to the natural grain of the wood.
The Material
Every artwork is created on a solid hard maple panel, selected for its strength, natural grain and ability to hold fine engraved detail.
The Artwork
The Western imagery is engraved directly into the maple surface, turning each panel into an original, one-of-a-kind piece of wood artwork.
The Finish
Each panel receives three coats of 100% pure Tung oil, enriching the maple while protecting and enhancing the engraved surface.
The Final Touch
The finished panel is carefully hand polished to a soft sheen, preserving the natural feel of the wood rather than giving it an artificial high-gloss finish.
Ready to Display
Every piece is signed on the back and includes a keyhole slot cut directly into the panel, allowing the artwork to be displayed cleanly on the wall.
Original. One of a kind.
Each Western Woodcuts panel is individually created

About the Artist
Western Woodcuts is the work of Frank Yakimovicz, creating original pieces inspired by the character, imagery and spirit of the American West.
Each piece is individually created on solid hard maple, combining detailed engraving with the natural warmth and grain of the wood itself.
Rather than producing identical copies, the focus is on one-of-a-kind artwork — pieces intended to have their own character and become part of the space in which they are displayed.
Original Western imagery, engraved into wood and finished by hand — each piece with its own character.

“The detail in the engraving is even more impressive in person. It feels less like decoration and more like owning an original piece of Western craftsmanship.”
“The natural maple grain gives the artwork a character that a print simply cannot reproduce. Every angle catches the light differently.”
“You can see the amount of care that goes into the engraving, finishing and polishing. It has become one of the most distinctive pieces in the room.”
