This is a wall heart art Christmas gift present idea that I can Personalized. It would be a perfect gift for any occasion. I am Gary Burns the treewiz or Wiz and I carve everything in my shop. I can personalize any of my hearts by inscribing a message on the back for no extra charge if it is something simple like a short sentence and date. I do this by hand with a Dremel. The last two photos are of the piece before I started and a photo of the cut out in progress stage.
I have been waiting for this piece of wood to dry. I have looked at it so many times over the last couple of years. Really kool to be able to finally make it! It's a stunning piece. Very unique! A one of a kind for sure.
It measures 22 1/2" tall x 18 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" thick. And I love the live edge with the bark, giving a lot of contrast to the smooth, sanded portions. This piece is very rustic. It really has a ton of character!!
SHIPPING IS INCLUDED IN ALL OF MY CARVINGS!!
It's carved out of a Big Leaf Maple Burl. The dark brown portions are the bark. I am always looking for burls. There are birds eyes in most of the sanded portion. A burl is usually caused by the trees reaction to an agro bacteria. It is sort of like a wart on a person. It doesn't affect the tree. It grows outside of the growth rings. So there is nothing but amazing grain to look at. This is another very unique carving. I am always on the hunt for kool pieces of wood. I have so much fun doing all aspects of what I do!
This piece is flat on the back so it can hang on the wall. I have fastened a self leveling hanger for hanging and it is signed Wiz on the back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
All of my carvings have a lacquer finish. Dusting with a feather duster or blowing off with a compressor is all that is necessary on the carved trees, fish and carved faces. I use Orange oil on the smooth surfaces. This will perk them up. I would do it as often as you polish your furniture. Once a month would keep them looking great but is not necessary.
When will I get my purchased carving?
I will contact you as soon as I get your order. I will package it that day or the next. I take it to the Post Office the next morning. If I get an order on Friday afternoon, Saturday or Sunday it will be in Monday mornings mail.
How will my carving be shipped?
I use Priority United States postal service mail.
Do you ship outside of the US?
I do ship outside of the US. I need to know the carving that you are interested in and your complete shipping address. I will figure what it costs to ship to your address and make the changes to the listing so that you can make the purchase.
