Tree wood carving wall hanging wall tree sculpture by Gary Burns

This wood carving of a Fir Tree wall hanging carved in Buckeye would make a special wood sculpture gift. My tree carvings are carved from a single piece of wood. These smaller tree carvings make wonderful gifts for so many occasions!! I don't carve them as often as I used to. My hands are only interested in doing them occasionally. I am retired now. I will be carving for as long as I can. I still love doing it more than anything!! This piece measures 15 1/2" tall x 9 wide x 1 1/8" thick. These trees have so much character!! It's hard to get a picture that really shows what these carvings look like in person. Please look at my feedback to see what customers have said about my work.

Each time you click the above picture you will go to another more detailed photograph of this piece. 10 photos altogether.

I carved it out of a piece of Buckeye that has a great color. The colors in this wood are so warm. It is a very rare wood. It grows in the foothills of the Sierra's in California. It also grows in the Eastern US but this Buckeye is a little bit more like a small bushy tree rather than a large trunked tree like in the East.

The technique I use is called Pierced Relief. It is carved out of one piece of wood and nothing is added. I have been carving since 1971 and a tree was the first carving I did. I have always been stimulated to carve a resemblance of a tree out of a tree. My technique has evolved over all of these years to what you see here. I keep seeing ways to make things more life like. And I love a piece to look like it is in the middle of a story that each observer can make up. Sometimes a different story each time we look at it and sometimes the same one.
