This an Anniversary gift wood wall heart art present. It would be a unique gift for any occasion! I am Gary Burns the treewiz or Wiz. 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. The last photo is of my Shop and Gallery, The Tree Wizard Gallery in Port Orford, Oregon. The next to last photo is of me carving. PRIORITY SHIPPING IN INCLUDED IN THE PRICE! It measures 19 1/2" tall x 17 1/2" wide x 2" thick.
There are a few cracks that I filled, there are blemishes, and there is some natural edge. This heart shows the traces of a Trying, Bumpy Journey but is still so very full of Love. This is a a piece of Buckeye. This Buckeye grows in the foothills of the Sierra's in California. It is a tricky tree root to harvest because of the clay soil it grows in. When the soil is dry, it is harder than the wood. When the soil is wet, it is too slippery for the back hoe to get in and dig it out.
This piece is flat on the back so it can hang on the wall. I have fastened a metal self leveling hanger on the back 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.
