Description
Vtg Ironwood Hand Carved American Eagle Sculpture. This carving is a wonder of nature, hand crafted in amazing detail from one of earth's hardest natural organic substances. This is an authentic art piece crafted in the Sonoran Desert from native Olneya ironwood. Found almost exclusively in the desert of Arizona, this tree is truly one of nature's wonders. North American desert ironwood gets its name from its amazing hardness and heavy weight (similar to petrified wood). Though this wood is very difficult to work, it is meticulously carved and etched to reveal incredible detail.
