Tracey Queiser, QueisersQreations

QueisersQreations is a woman run woodcraft studio dedicated to creating functional art from exotic woods, vibrant epoxy, and shimmering lab-grown opals. Every piece is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind, blending natural beauty with bold color and thoughtful design.

We create writing pens, wine and whiskey bottle toppers, bottle openers, ice cream scoops, aromatherapy necklaces, and handcrafted opal rings. Our materials include exotic woods such as Desert Ironwood, Honduran Rosewood Burl, and Cholla Cactus, paired with brilliantly colored epoxy and over 50 shades of lab-grown opals for added sparkle and sophistication.

Many of our pens feature specialty themes like pet lovers, sports, medical professions, or high-end watch parts. We also love custom orders and have created personalized gifts, wedding bands, and memorial pieces made with pet fur or ashes to honor cherished companions.

Our process begins with crafting unique “blanks” using wood, epoxy, and mica powders. These are drilled, mounted on the lathe, and carefully turned to reveal hidden patterns and colors. Our rings are individually inlaid with opals and finished for durability and shine.

As an Iñupiaq Native American artisan, woodworking connects me to my heritage and respect for traditional Native Alaskan craftsmanship. Inspired by generations of woodcarving artistry, we strive to honor that legacy through creativity and attention to detail.

At QueisersQreations, our goal is simple: create beautiful, functional pieces that bring joy, tell a story, and become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
