►WOOD: Locally sourced desert hardwood is uniquely hand-made and custom designed from weathered-down trees recovered around metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona areas. Acquiring these logs allows me to create 100% sustainable art, repurposed live edge wood designs. Handmade in North Peoria, Arizona. No CNC machine is ever used in any of my functional art creations. ►FRACTALART: It’s a process of applying thousands of voltage on the wood recreating lightning strikes in random slow motion making unique abstract figures, tree and vein like shapes on the surface of the wood. It is sealed with epoxy inlay ink self-leveling high gloss U.V. resistant formula. *Warning: Don’t try this at home. It is fatal and deadly. ►EPOXY: Self-leveling high gloss U.V. resistant formula epoxy with color pigment is added to seal the burns created during fractal art process on the surface of the wood. The colors available are: (Arizona Gold, Army Green, Black, Blue Metallic, Cardinal Metallic, Caribbean Blue, Emerald Metallic, Golden Yellow, Hawaiian Blue, Hunter Green, Orange, Purple Metallic, Red, Sky Blue, Teal Metallic, Turquoise Blue, White) ►OIL FINISH: Hand rubbed finish using Osmo Poly-X clear satin oil to bring out the natural beauty of wooden surfaces. It brings out the natural beauty of wooden surfaces; durable coating for use on wood surfaces and contains ultraviolet absorbers for advanced sun protection. ►USE AND CARE: To revitalize desert hardwood, apply UltraPro Mineral Oil and wipe off excess. UltraPro® Food Grade White Mineral Oil helps maintain and preserve charcuterie board surfaces. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless mixtures of saturated paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. ►CUSTOM ORDERS: Please contact gariechavez@gmail.com or call 623-533-9376 for custom order request, laser engraving, epoxy color or design style shape. ►ENGRAVING: Laser engraving corporate logo included in the price.
►ABOUT THE ARTIST: Garie Chavez [Artisan/Musician/Luthier] – I have been creating live edge wood art since 2015, transforming sustainably recovered desert hardwood into one-of-a-kind functional works of art. In 2020, I expanded my craft by designing custom handmade guitar hangers featuring fractal art and ocean wave resin designs for celebrity musicians. By 2023, I completed my first custom handmade electric guitar, incorporating my signature fractal art into a fully handcrafted instrument. Every piece I create reflects my commitment to patience, persistence, passion, and meticulous attention to detail. No two creations are ever alike. My goal is to craft artwork that is not only beautiful and functional, but also deeply personal—something my clients will treasure for years to come, knowing it was made especially for them. Thank you for welcoming my art into your home and allowing me to be a part of your story.
