Shipping to United States: Free

This is a wood carving of a heart. It is a very unique, handmade woodworking that makes a perfect wood gift. It is an especially great 5th Anniversary wood gift.

This heart is carved in a piece of Hard Maple Burl wood. Burl wood is very rare and unique. It has beautiful, interlocking-grain, many natural voids and bark inclusion.

I have dyed this heart red :) It measures 10" tall, 15" wide and 1 1/2" thick.

I will be glad to engrave something in the back of this wall heart free of charge. Something like, "I love you", "JC+TC", or maybe a quote that you love, etc... something fairly short but very meaningful :) Please let me know what you'd like engraved, AS A NOTE, when you purchase this carving.

I carve everyday for a living. It's my favorite thing in the world to do :) The two things that I love most are my family and carving wood. So, it only makes sense that I carve wood to support my family :) I have been at it for almost 9 years and I still love it just as much as I did when I began!

Burls are formed on trees due to some sort of stress. The result is that the tree sends a bunch of sprouts to one area forming a burl. Burls are rare and very unique. They have beautiful, interlocking grain. There is a lot of bark inclusion to this piece and it has some of the wildest grain I've seen :)


Everything in my shop is made by hand, by me, Josh.

I made this carving using many different tools. I began with a chainsaw to get my shape. Then, I used some power shaping tools on an angle grinder to round over the edges. I sanded this carving very finely to showcase the beauty of this wood. I finished it with several coats of polyurethane.

This carving comes ready to hang! I sign and date the back of all of my work.

I just love carving and working with wonderful wood!

SHIPPING TO THE USA IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE CARVING! Please contact me for international shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

Yes, I sometimes take custom orders :) Contact me and we can discuss the specifics.

I really enjoy creating themed walking sticks such as Odin, Thor, Baron Samedi or many, many other possibilities. If you'd like a stick with bears, owls, or whatever else you might have in mind, just shoot me a message and we can discuss it.

I am also happy to make custom chainsaw carvings of about any animal or object you'd like.

I know that, as a customer, you expect a certain level of control over the custom process and I, as an artist, expect a certain level of freedom. When we are able to meet in the middle, beautiful things can happen :)

Don't be afraid to message me :) Thanks so much!

Care instructions

My carvings can be cleaned using many different methods. A feather duster works nicely. Compressed air (duster or air compressor) also works well. If on a porch or indoors, my carvings will never need a new coat of sealer. Chainsaw carvings that are outdoors will need a fresh coat of sealer each year.
