.
Live edge mesquite and blue resin coffee or cocktail table. The top is a butterfly, or bookmatched pair of mesquite slabs, in other words, they were sequential cuts from the same mesquite log. The base is cedar on a cantilevered design achieved through joinery and spar supports. The resin has pearlescent pigment added to it, and as it cures, it takes on different forms and designs. Perfect for any type architecture from rustic to contemporary. Dimensions are 63' long, 32" at widest point, and 21" high. In stock and available for immediate delivery.
I am currently working on the companion piece which is the matching sofa or entry table with matching resin color and will be available separately.
NOTE: Prefer a different color of resin or different base? I have one more set of slabs identical to these to make more.
This is a beautiful mesquite natural edge slab table with pearlescent blue resin. Why have a typical sofa/entry/console table when you can have a unique, functioning piece of art that is sure to be a focal point of any area of your home or office. Unlike a lot of other "resin" tables on the market that are coated in plastic with an unrealistic appearance, this table is beautifully finished with a hand rubbed process that not only brings out the true beauty of the mesquite wood, but also enhances the depth and clarity of the amazing resin river without it looking like it's been dipped in plastic. Pictures don't do justice to this piece, as the pearl pigment is striking from different angles. The legs are commercial grade, powder coated metal tubing with a matte finish, that have adjustable bottoms for unlevel floors, ensuring a strong, secure base for this amazing table. The dimensions are:
29 inches tall, 53 inches long, and 12 inches wide. The slab is one inch thick and the resin color is through and through.
You won't find anything as unique and striking as this table in any furniture store. All pieces are hand crafted and signed by the artist (me). It's ready for immediate shipment, so don't wait. These tables don't last long and I rarely have many inventory pieces on hand.
Great Blue Heron
The Great Blue Heron is is a highly skilled "fisherman". This unique driftwood carving captures that moment as the bird positions a shad to be enjoyed. This is another combination of very high detail carving merged into the existing twisted driftwood. The curved neck and the flowing lines of the back are all elements of this graceful bird. Everything is carved from wood including the shad. Taxidermy grade glass eyes, airbrushed acrylics, and a custom fitted and curved base complete the look of this 3D carving. This highly stylized and interpretive piece is meant to be enjoyed 360 degrees from any angle. It would be perfect on an entry table, or as a stunning centerpiece in a home, business, or office. The sculpture measured 28" tall, by 16" wide and is approximately 8" thick. Truly one of a kind. Each one is unique and can not be replicated.

This is a contemporary/abstract piece that is meant to capture the essence of a pelican at rest in the water. I sculpted and carved it from a twisted base of a dead cedar tree that was salvaged on a ranch in Kerrville, TX. Some of the coloration was enhanced with light stain for contrast with a durable finish applied over the entire sculpture. The eye is actually a natural knot that was positioned in the right place when carving the head. It measures 24" long, 11" tall, and roughly 9" wide. It would make a nice, one of a kind centerpiece that is truly unique.

This is a stunning, life sized wall hanging measuring 34" long by 19" tall and approximately 6" thick. Even though it's meant to be a "profile" interpretive carving, both sides of the head are carved, detailed and painted, as it has a slight outward bend to the neck and head as if it's contemplating a turn to the left. This "hybrid" carving would make a stunning conversation piece for the home, office lobby, restaurant, lodge, or even an urban loft. Truly one of a kind.

I retrieved this twisted piece of black walnut from a hill country ranch near Ingram, TX last year. It looks like it either just sheared off from the base of the tree or was a result of a lighting strike that caused it to shear away as there was a charred area. Anyway, it sat around my shop for a year before it finally struck me that it would make an awesome marlin sculpture, twisting it's way and breaking the surface of the ocean. It's a fairly large and dramatic piece almost three feet tall, and about 20" wide. The coloration for the eye detail and the vertical striping is a series of crushed stone inlay. The finish is a clear gloss that enhances the natural beauty of the black walnut. This is an abstract/stylistic piece as you'll see in the last picture, the backside of the carving reveals the natural element to the twisted walnut. Even though it has a curving, gentle twist, and a fragile appearance, the piece is hard as a rock and extremely durable. The base is made from mesquite. The pictures are both in natural light as well as indoor lighting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind sculpture perfect as a centerpiece and meant to be viewed from 360 degrees. Signed by the artist. Currently available for immediate shipment.

Pileated Woodpecker
This beautiful bird is North America's largest woodpecker, except for the Ivory Bill Woodpecker which is believed to be extinct. They have a very large range and fortunately, includes our property where I see them regularly. When I came across this piece of driftwood with the natural holes in it, I knew right away what had to be carved. This is another hybrid carving incorporating the natural driftwood as well as a highly detailed head, body and tail feathers. Each feather is hand carved and highly detailed including the small, intricate feather detail on the head and neck. The head is slightly turned and angled towards one of the natural holes as if he's looking into it. Glass eyes, a highly detailed leg and claws, acrylic airbrush paint and hand brushing detail complete this carving. This wall hanging piece is meant to be enjoyed from every angle especially the one where it takes on the image of the bird emerging from the rough driftwood. The bird is life sized, being 16" tall. The entire piece measures 25" tall, 9 " wide and 6" thick. Sure to please bird lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys nature.

"Wings"
This amazing, one piece driftwood sculpture had its origin in the upper reaches of the Trinity River Basin in north central Texas. When I salvaged it from a cove in the lower river basin, it was covered in the original bark and scale, but I knew the unique shape had definite possibilities. The piece was pressure washed, scraped and was then left dormant to dry in a covered area for about two years as I pondered what it would eventually become. The more I looked at it, the more it became evident that the limb protruding from the upper left side had to be carved into a neck and head of a non-descript bird, with the upper formations of the driftwood representing the "wings" of a bird taking flight. Each crevice was painstakingly scraped to reveal all of the detail that was hidden beneath the initial rough scale of the driftwood. After the overall shape and contour was meticulously carved into place, the piece was sanded to a fine finish and then stains were applied to enhance all of the different aspects of the wood. Numerous coats of a gloss finish were carefully applied, sanding between coats, front and back so that all of the wood is permanently sealed. This stylized sculpture is sure to be a focal point of any room due to its sheer size, contours and elegant presentation. This is a large, dramatic, one of a kind piece measuring 34" tall X 36" wide and the curved neck and wings extend out approximately 17" from the wall.
