‘Grasp’ 2023
This piece is made from a single driftwood piece gathered from the Mohawk River in Upstate New York. The wood seems to be Cherry. It has a special near black weathering on the surface, which I've left in part, to contrast with the gleaming carved and polished inner grain. It's a heavy solid piece, with grace to it. The wire ‘stitching’ forming the hanger is done using century-old wire gathered from the field lines of my farmstead.
The rust of the antique wire and character of history blends well with the driftwood. It is done by hand, with heart. The driftwood has gone through my usual process of carving, sanding and burnishing, while still leaving natural, raw details. The surface is finished by hand burnishing only.
Measures approx. 27” x 6” x 3”. A loop hanger is on back.
I hope this piece brings joy into your space.

• These pieces are all one of a kind and completely done by myself, from collecting the driftwood in Upstate New York, to carving, sanding, burnishing, wiring, and lastly packing it up to ship to you!
• These pieces are intended for indoor use. The wood has been naturally dried, shaped, and burnished to gently achieve its condition. Exposing it to the elements and/or significant moisture may cause damage.
• Wild, refined, sustainably made. By hand, with heart.
