►LIVE EDGE
WOOD: The natural edges, wavy grain lines,
quilting, unique colors, knots and bark inclusions are the
characteristics that define live edge wood. Each wood slab has specific
feature and will vary from log to log milled. The pictures shown on this
page is evident of the varying difference in grain patterns and
characteristics of the wood. This is what makes live edge wood so
distinctive and special. Please contact
garie@gccreativeworks.com for ordering and availability information.
►MATERIAL: Arizona
grown desert hardwood is uniquely hand-crafted and custom designed
from weathered-down trees found in the suburban metropolitan
Phoenix area. By acquiring desert hardwood logs from tree services and
individuals, allows me to create 100% sustainable, repurposed live edge
wood designs. Both sides of the slab goes to a router sled table to
obtain desired flat surface and thickness. As the wood slab ages,
noticeable cracks on the wood may appear due to its natural dry cracking
process and changes in humidity and temperature. Any voids or cracks
from the wood are sealed with epoxy to maintain integrity of the wood.
►DIMENSIONS: Length:
14-15”, Width: 8-9”, Thickness: ¾ to 1-1/4” (varies)
►OIL FINISH: Hand
rubbed finish using OLD MASTERS gel polyurethane clear satin gel. It
brings out the natural beauty of wooden surfaces; durable coating for

ART: A process of applying 20,000 volts of
electricity to the wood surface recreating a lightning strike in slow
motion as well as unique abstract figures, tree and vein like shapes.
►EPOXY INLAY: Any
voids or cracks from the wood are sealed with epoxy to maintain the
integrity of the wood. Epoxy inlay with clear or color pigment is also
use to seal the burns created during fractal art process on the surface
of the wood. ►EPOXY
