This is a Wood Spirit Wood Carving. He's an art sculpture tree spirit carved in Manzanita Burl. I am Gary Burns the Treewiz and I carve everything in my shop. I introduce to you "Skeeder", a very handsome Elf Wizard. He is peaceful to be around and loves a good laugh. "Skeeder" is great to be around. He loves a good story and loves passing on tales he his heard on his journeys. He is known for his truths and his way of looking into situations to bring out all of the significant details. He is often called upon to settle disputes and to help keep peace in the community. "Skeeder" is a well respected member of the Land. "Skeeder" is looking off to the left when hung. He is not looking straight ahead. I had to do this as the piece of wood really wanted it that way!! : )
He is flat on the back and hangs on the wall. I have attached a metal self leveling hanger for hanging. He is ready to go!!
PRIORITY USPS SHIPPING IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF ALL OF MY CARVINGS!! : )

He measures 5 1/2" tall x 6 1/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. I have signed it Wiz on the back as well.
He has quite a few colors going on. He is carved out of a Manzanita Burl. It has a range of color from reds to golds. This is about the hardest wood I carve anymore. And it is very difficult to find solid pieces as it is a root burl and can have a lot of pockets of bark or just open spaces throughout the piece. I feel very lucky when I find one solid like this one.
Here's a little story about the Earth Wizards. In the beginning, the Creator noticed the trees were defenseless. Hence He fashioned Wood Elves and Earth Wizards, kind spirited folk who labored at nurturing the trees and protecting them from those with little understanding of The Way.
Trees contain a wisdom of the past and offer hope for the future. The Elves and Wizards live on, though few in number compared to the Unknowing. Our well being depends upon our trees and environment being protected and held close to our hearts. Please help the Elves and Wizards; hold the Earth close to your heart.

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.
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.
I use Priority United States postal service mail.
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.
