The wooden heron is a great gift, but like many of our decor products, you’re going to want one for yourself. It’ll be right at home on the mantel, or perhaps in one of the taller nooks of our Geometric Bookcase

Our heron sculpture is elegant and hopeful, and we think you’ll fall in love with having this piece of decor in your home.

The dynamic sculpture has an “edge” face, where we’ve layered the Baltic birch and turned it on its side. It seems to almost lengthen the bird, and when viewing it straight on from the front or back, ripples in the layers of birch appear and give a forward and upward momentum to the piece.

This decor piece is a great gift for a cabin-warming, a birder, or any nature loving person.

Handcrafted in Minneapolis.

MATERIALS
(01) Veneered Baltic Birch

Our decor pieces are made using a beautiful high-end Baltic birch plywood from Columbia Forest Products®. Each of the 13 layers of the ply are solid wood. The Baltic birch is a sustainable product and will be very stable as the seasons change, unlike some solid wood products.

While many woodworkers conceal the edges of the plywood, we have made it our signature look to highlight the striped layers. Not only does this give a nod to the designers of the mid-century era, it makes every piece by Hossle Woodworks a work of art, and a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.

(02) Finish

We finish our products with a mixture of pure tung oil, boiled linseed oil and wax. This means less harsh chemicals when we are doing the work, and a safer breathing experience for you. The end result is a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like a silky-smooth piece of wood.

Another benefit to the finish is that it allows for easy repair when scratches happen. Buff out the scratch with a piece of high-grit sandpaper and rub in some Howard Feed-N-Wax® and your piece is as good as new! less
