This small White Oak Owl is a direct reflection of the unique root burl wood I used. Its compact size—2.75 inches high and 1.5 inches wide—lends itself to intimate viewing, showcasing the intense, swirling grain pattern that develops only at the root of the tree.
I used wood burning (pyrography) to enhance the figure and provide the subtle details of the sculpture. The density and complexity of the burl wood mean that every turning pass reveals a new pattern.
This sculpture would make a wonderful companion piece or an honest, standalone accent. I protected the wood with a Tung Oil and Orange Oil mix to ensure the carving and the figure are preserved.
