Large Marlin Wall Carving

THE PIECE

The marlin is built for open water — long, lean, the bill cutting forward like a blade. This larger wall carving takes that architecture and renders it at scale in beech wood sourced from the Black Sea forests of northern Turkey, where the climate produces a dense, close-grained timber that holds detail well.

The form is first established by machine, then passed entirely to hand — the bill, the dorsal fin, and the body all refined by chisel and blade until the piece reads as carved rather than cut. At this size, it becomes a true statement piece, holding its own on a large wall the way the fish holds its own in open water.

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

— Large: 10.8 × 35.4 in (27.5 × 90 cm)

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.
