Ooak 5th Wood Wedding Anniversary Gift Heart Wood Carving, Valentines Day Gift Present Wall Hanging Art Decor by Gary Burns the treewiz by TreeWizWoodCarvings
375,00 USD
A Ooak 5th Wood Wedding Anniversary Gift Heart Wood Carving. It would be the perfect Valentines Day Present Wall Hanging Art Decor by Gary Burns the treewiz. 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. It measures 21 & quot; tall x 15 1/8 & quot; wide x 2 1/4 & quot; thick.
There is some cracking, there are blemishes, there is natural edge or live edge, and a bunch of imagination to make this a Heart. Even though it has a lot of the outside edge in places, it is a pretty solid piece. I love the left portion that is missing. These are really special pieces to me. It is much different making a heart that is almost perfect. These have a really sweet energy about them from the very beginning. It’s not for those who want a perfect Heart. But what is a perfect heart? This heart shows the traces of a Trying, Bumpy Journey but is still so very full of Love. Life just is not easy. There is much in Life that is testing and gives us contrast and value for the amazing moments. I would not want it any other way.

The colors in this wood are so warm and there is a lot of character to the color contrast. This is a Buckeye Burl. It is a very rare wood. It grows in the foothills of the Sierra’s in California. It grows in the Eastern US but this is a little bit more like a small bushy tree rather than a large trunked tree like in the East. And the one on the West Coast burls. It is a tricky tree 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. The cost of the wood adds a lot to the price of the Heart. This piece was really expensive but it is hard to find pieces that will work at all. I had this piece for some time and could not figure how to use it. I pondered many options before I went with this design. Not only is it expensive and tricky to design but packing and shipping play a large part in the price as well. This is why the Buckeye pieces are more expensive than the other woods for their size. It is a root burl so there are not a lot of solid pieces as the burl is mixed in with the roots and grows right around rocks and dirt pockets. It can make it tricky to work sometimes if there is a rock inside when you go to mill it or start working it. It is very challenging but really worth the extra effort. I feel very blessed to have a few pieces of Buckeye to work with.
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.
Hearts represent Love and Acceptance and these hearts. It would make an amazing gift for anyone or be a well deserved gift for oneself.
