24 inches tall, 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep

This started out as a one of the stump series and was totally sanded and finished as three different sculptures before it ended up in this final form. It is a piece of pecan that almost looks like a bust and has a very out of balance look to it. The flat side, where the limb was originally sawn off the trunk of the tree, still shows the chain saw marks that are now highly polished and it has a deep patina and many wormholes. There are cracks in the face that make a very distinctive cross and it is also full of holes. The backside is Spalted Pecan with the typical browns, yellow, gold, black, and gray figuring running through it.
