From the artist "The bronze was cast from a 13 year old spruce tree harvested from my father-in-law's property on the Northwoods Club Road. The tree had fallen and twisted over itself and continued to grow. After harvesting this piece, I removed the bark then selectively cut back the branches, sculpted and shaped it into its present form. The piece was then taken to Polich Tallix Foundry where it was cast in bronze using the lost wax method. The detail of the casting was so delicate that you could still count the growth rings." 20" tall on a 16" square base.
