The Boat



10" h x 18. Lake Erie driftwood - baked, sanded, and clear sealed. Two very vintage pulleys and brass base. Steel support pole is actually a vintage Ford/Fomoco engine valve. To me, this piece instantly had the look and feel of on old ship being tossed about on the waves... $240

THE RIVER



The River



25" h. I found this 100+ year old piece of wood to be filled with wisdom and character. Very soothing. The shapes and lines spoke to me of the swirls and currents of a river. I've added a very subtle, translucent blue colour and sealed with Varathane satin. The base is a polished and coated vintage steel scale weight and the post a vintage wooden chair spindle. $175

THE SKATER



The Skater



8" h. Found this marvelous, balanced, chunk of heavy steel while out exploring. It's a railway track connector bar. Of course it instantly reminded me of a skate blade, but also resembles a sleight runner. So I embedded and epoxied it into this very sculptural reclaimed vintage railyard brick. Brick base has been clear coated for preservation. $110

SHIPWRECK



Shipwreck



6.5" h x 31. Found this memorable piece of wood while hiking and exploring. For some reason it made me think of a piece from a very ancient shipwreck discovery. It is extremely dense and heavy and hard. I believe it is likely part of a century old railway tie. One of my only sculptures that has a definite front and back - could work well on a desk front or mantle. A statement piece. $260

THE ROSE



The Rose



19" h. Simple and calming. This lovely, unique piece of vintage lumber spoke to me right away. The grain flow is quite memorable and pronounced and I've accentuated it all with a subtle rose stain under satin clear, after torching and polishing. The wood support post is embedded in a polished and sealed vintage scale weight. $115

TWIN PEAKS



Twin Peaks



20" h. A piece with a feeling of great strength and confidence. I discovered these two old forest remnants near each other and was fascinated with their matching curved shapes - most likely the outer portion of a large tree. It felt like they deserved to be preserved and elevated to a new purpose. Wood base was a left over construction board from our 1894 home - it's been charred, brushed and clear sealed. Metal support posts are protruding from an antique railway connector heavy steel plate. $290

27" h. Another piece with a feeling of great strength and confidence. I was excited to come across the very cool wood piece! Makes you wonder how it got all those twists and curves! It's been baked and finished with a combination of matte and satin clear coats. Metal support post is in a thick pine section that has been charred, sanded and Varathane finished. $245
