This is a wood spirit carving of a Native American. It is a handmade woodworking that is hand-carved in a piece of Cottonwood bark. This unique wall hanging piece of fine art will make a perfect wood gift.
Wood Spirits are my favorites to carve. So much emotion can be evoked by a simple expression. I carved this guy using rotary hand tools (similar to dentist tools) and painted with oil and acrylic paints. This is a very special carving. I spent several sessions working on this piece.
This wall- hanging wood carving measures 18" tall, 4" wide and 2" thick. This is very large and thick piece of Cottonwood bark.
Yes, this is an actual piece of bark from a Cottonwood tree. This bark is from Montana and is very solid and consistent. It made for a wonderful carving medium. It is quite soft, so the slightest movement of the hand can change the overall look of this piece. It takes a lot of time and delicate manipulation to work with Cottonwood bark.
SHIPPING IS INCLUDED in the price of the carving to the USA! Please message me for international shipping.
Please be sure to view all 5 pictures!
Everything in my shop is made by hand, by me, Josh.

I have attached a wall hanger on the back of the carving, along with my signature and the date. A really cool certificate of authenticity comes with each of my wood spirit carvings :)

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.
