►WOOD: Locally sourced desert hardwood is uniquely hand-crafted 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. ►WINE BOTTLE: Upcycled glass to create a unique wine bottle art candle holder design. The bottle is cut on an angle called the ►TRANQUIL CUT midway between the neck and body. Wet belt sander is used to remove outer sharp glass edges. Diamond smoothing cone is used on the inside lips of open ended glass vessels. Flame polished finished on all glass cut areas. *Note that upcycled wine bottle may have slight irregularities and imperfections within the origin of the glass. Oil lamp not included with purchase. ►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 deadly and fatal. ►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. ►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.

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.
