This nature's gift to art was sculpted from an amazing tree that had been killed in a rapidly moving, wind driven and extremely hot mountain forest fire. It is semi-smooth and soft with beautiful grain patterns. Many of the live edge features were retained. It measures 33 tall x 19 x 12", and weighs about 15 lbs.  All the knobs and bumps are natural and it is extremely unusual to find a tree with all these fascinating and beautiful features. In order to maintain the natural light gray coloring of this piece, it has a lighter finish coat (but still sealed) than I often use.

Care of your Valuable Art piece:
1. The beauty of your art piece will best be maintained by periodically gently removing dust with a very soft brush on a vacuum cleaner.
2. The wood for this sculpture was cured until it reached a moisture content like that in most homes. In some pieces, natural cracks have been filled and others have been retained to enhance the sculpture's design. Occasionally, over time, cracks may change since indoor humidity levels vary considerably (e.g., residence, office, area of the country).
3. Your art piece should NOT be displayed in direct sunlight (no wood likes direct sun) because strong light will fade its rich colors.
4. Display this treasure where it will be protected from chemicals and moisture.
