Peace of mind!

All wood has been heat treated and is free of insects.

This captivating art panel is crafted from an apple trunk discovered at a quaint woodyard in Virginia. Over time, the trunk’s center naturally rotted away, leaving behind a stunning ring of apple wood that serves as the heart of this piece. The weathered yet resilient wood tells a story of nature’s cycle—decay giving way to beauty and transformation.

Enhancing the panel’s organic character are delicate rounds made from maple branches, carefully collected from the lush forests of North Carolina. The warm, contrasting grains of the maple rounds harmonize with the apple wood’s rich tones, creating a dialogue between two distinct but complementary woods. This interplay of textures and origins imbues the panel with a profound sense of place and history.

Designed with versatility in mind, this panel can be displayed vertically or horizontally, adapting effortlessly to your space. For a more expansive statement, it pairs beautifully with its companion piece, Variations in Apple 102, forming a striking diptych that deepens the exploration of natural forms and wood’s inherent artistry.

Perfect for collectors and lovers of fine craftsmanship, this work celebrates the raw elegance of reclaimed wood, the artistry in natural imperfection, and the timeless connection between material and maker.
