TRIPLE-FIGURED SPALTED BIGLEAF MAPLE BURL WALL SCULPTURE
Pacific Northwest | Tree of Life Natural Void | Artisan Crafted
This is not mass-produced wall decor. This is a singular piece of
Pacific Northwest geology and biology, frozen in time by a master
craftsman who understood exactly when to stop the spalting process
► TRIPLE FIGURE — Extremely rare combination:
• Dense burl eye clusters (the chaotic, organic crown)
• Black spalting zone lines (fungal decay arrested at perfection)
• Blue-gray mineral / fungal staining (Pacific Northwest signature)
Most maple burl carries ONE figure type. Three together is genuinely
uncommon — the wood equivalent of a four-leaf clover.
► TREE OF LIFE SILHOUETTE — The natural voids form an organic,
branching negative space. Not accidental. Not carved out. Selected.
The artisan shaped the piece around what the tree had already drawn.
► PROFESSIONAL STABILIZATION — Precision-fitted bow tie / butterfly
keys stabilize natural cracks with structural integrity, not just
decoration. This piece will not move, warp, or crack further. It is
wall-ready for decades.
► PACIFIC NORTHWEST PROVENANCE — Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum)
from the Oregon Coast Range. Same species favored by Dennis Elliott,
whose bigleaf maple burl sculptures are held in the Smithsonian
American Art Museum
Dimensions: 16" wide × 14" high × 3" thick
Weight: 45.7 oz (2.85 lbs) — lightweight for its mass
Finish: Hand-rubbed professional oil, satin sheen
Mounting: Braided steel hanging wire, anchored and balanced
Base: Deliberate angled cut — artistic decision, not a flaw
Professionally finished. No active decay. The spalting has been
stabilized and sealed. Bow tie keys are flush, tight, and precisely
fitted. Hanging wire is secure and balanced for level display.
This piece suits:
• Collectors of Pacific Northwest craft and wood art
• Interior designers seeking organic, statement wall pieces
• Buyers who understand that burl + spalting + blue staining
together commands a premium over single-figure material
• Anyone who has priced Dennis Elliott, Steve Metzger, or
Metzger's Burl Wood Gallery and wants museum-quality material
without the five-figure attribution premium
Packed in custom-cut foam with double-box protection. Insured.
