Bear Wall Carving

THE PIECE

The bear occupies space differently from other animals — grounded, deliberate, entirely at ease in its own scale. This wall carving renders that quality in beech wood sourced from the Black Sea forests of northern Turkey, the form worked to bring weight and warmth to any wall it hangs on.

The form is first established by machine, then passed entirely to hand — the fur texture, the posture, and the edges all refined by chisel and blade until the piece reads as carved rather than cut.

THE FINISH

Once sanding is complete, the piece receives a single finish: pure olive oil, nothing else. It absorbs into the beech rather than coating it, deepening the natural warm tone and nourishing the grain from within. No varnish, no lacquer, no paint. The color you see is the wood itself.

SIZE

— Small 10.2"x 23.6" (25.9cm x 60cm)

— Large 13"x 35.4" (33cm x 90cm) 

A NOTE ON NATURAL VARIATION

No two pieces are identical. The grain shifts from one block of wood to the next — tone, texture, and pattern will differ slightly from what you see in the photograph. What arrives is its own thing.

READY TO HANG

A metal wall hook is fitted to the back before shipping. No tools, no assembly.
