This is a best of etsy 5th Wedding Anniversary gift present idea also the Wood Anniversary. It would be a perfect romantic any occasion gift present!! I am Gary Burns the treewiz or Wiz. I've been carving for 52 years and I am tickled to still be able to!!
I can inscribe something personal on the back with no extra charge if it is something simple like a short sentence and date. I do this by hand with a Dremel. This piece comes ready to hang on the wall. It measures 16" tall x 14 1/2" wide x 2" thick. It's carved out of a piece of Old Growth Redwood. It has a portion that's the outside of the tree. I am always looking for pieces like this. PRIORITY USPS SHIPPING IS INCLUDED IN ALL OF MY PIECES
I just love this wood. There is some amazing figure in the grain pattern! I used to see this sort of Redwood a lot in my earlier years of carving. I hardly see it anymore. If I do I usually can't afford it.

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.
