►WOOD: Locally source 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 functional art football holder. Handmade in North Peoria, Arizona. Note* Since the fractal art is uniquely done to each wood, the picture shown above is not the exact fractal design you'll receive. The shape and size will be the same. The back of the wood has a keyhole brass hanger to hang and secure the football holder. ►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. *Warning: Don’t try this at home. It is fatal and deadly. ►EPOXY: Self-leveling high gloss U.V. A resistant formula epoxy with color pigment is added to seal the burns created during fractal art process on the surface of the wood. ►DIMENSIONS: 16” x 12” 1-3/8” ►HARDWARE: Pivoting Yoke: The padded cradle rotates automatically to fit full size football. Protective Cushioning: The football contact points feature non-marking, padded rubber or soft protective sleeves designed to be nitrocellulose-safe to prevent chemical reactions or "stand rash" on sensitive cowhide leather finishes. ►OIL FINISH: Hand rubbed finish using Old Masters gel polyurethane clear satin gel on wood surface. 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. ►COMPLETION TIME: Please allow 3-7 days to complete from the time order is received. ►SHIPPING TERMS: Free to continental US states including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Standard Shipping takes 3 to 7 business days from the date of order received. Additional freight charges for International shipments. ►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.
