►DISCLAIMER: The pictures are solely to show the different grain patterns and shade characteristics of the wood. Every item is custom made to order which means no two live edge wood will ever be the same. ►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. ►KNIFE HOLDER: Arizona grown desert hardwood magnetic knife holder wall mount has multiple Neodymium super strong magnets routed depth evenly, embedded in the back of the wood and sealed with epoxy. The magnets are evenly spaced for each knife. Wall mounted design frees up counter and drawer space and gives a creative look in your home. Designed for wall or back splash mounting. The back is routed at each end for keyhole. Two brass metal keyholes are attached on the back of the wood for added strength. Mounting instructions, wall anchors and screws included. NOTE**** The KNIVES are not included in the picture shown. It is only for illustration purposes. ►NEODYMIUM MAGNET: Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets. They provide unparalleled levels of magnetism and resistance to demagnetization. They are also described as rare-earth magnets, because neodymium is part of the rare-earth family of elements. ►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 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 wood board surfaces. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless mixtures of saturated paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. ►COMPLETION TIMELINE: Please allow 7-10 days to complete each cross from the time order is received. ►PLACEMENT OF KNIVES: To prevent the live edge wood magnetic holder from getting scarred, turn the knife handle 90 degrees and pull straight out. To put knife in place, hold it straight and rest the back of the knife on the wood and turn to secure in place.

►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.
