The Mighty Oak

7" wide by 8" deep by 5" high
Approximately 124 pieces of hand cut and chip carved wood have been used to create this one-of-a-kind work of art.

The oak leaf and its acorn! As a child I used to fill my pockets with acorns till they were bulging full just like a squirrels cheeks. This piece is made from a cigar box, layers of Tramp Art and real acorn caps. The focal point is a hand dyed and aged velvet "oak leaf" pin-cushion I designed and made with an antique "vegetable ivory" acorn shaped thimble holder (with the thimble inside) attached to the leaf's stem. The interior features a cigar box label on the lid and the bottom is lined with linen. I hand cut and carve each piece of wood, no power tools are used in creating my pieces. The stained finish is a custom mix I developed to help give each piece the richness and warmth of the antique pieces.
