Looking for wall art made from real wood branches

@Sybylla — I like the usefulness but don’t think I’d want to put it over my bed. Looks dangerous. No reason to leave the bed.

@BunsenBurner — I think the shipping will get you. Art school around? Local galleries? You bet there are plenty of artists who’d grab 500 bucks.

I did find this artist but assume pieces are well over $500: http://www.lutzartdesign.com/sculptures

It doesn’t seem like there are online stores carrying natural tree branch wall sculptures since they are most likely a limited market. If they aren’t selling on etsy, they may not be selling online at all. Have you seen something like what you want or is this a concept you want to explore? I would wait until the good art/craft shows start in Seattle then go see if anyone is selling the kind of pieces you like. If so, and you don’t see just what you want, you could possibly commission a piece. I’ll bet you could even find a nice downed tree branch in your area and ask to have it made into a wall sculpture!

Gorgeous! The only problem… too heavy to be hung above the bed. Mr. Safety will not allow any art there unless it has minimal weight. Hence, he agreed to branches. :slight_smile: If I can find it… Room and Board had a photo of someone’s room with a perfect example…

I’d look in a local gallery–I would have a hard time buying something like this without being able to see it in person.

A fan of arts & crafts shows. (Maybe cuz that is how my sibling makes her $). I bought a painted teak table for my outdoors, and many paintings this way.

This seems to be promising:

Out of stock for now.

These are my style. After seeing your post #26, you seem to be looking for something more natural, but I love these (the first few images). I’ve made a few walking sticks with these kinds of designs, but never thought to use smaller sticks for a bouquet or wall art.

Love driftwood art and would totally go for it if we were facing the Sound. Alas, our theme is cabin in the woods because we are surrounded by trees. :slight_smile:

novica sells beautiful lightweight carved wood wall art pieces that can be arranged together.

I think @BunsenBurner is looking for wall decor made with actual branches, not simply made of wood.

This guy sells on Etsy: https://www.thebenttree.com/project/forest-glen-wall-sculpture-large/

Seems to closed for the winter season but info suggests they should open sometime in March. https://www.thebenttree.com/

@BunsenBurner that link from @Marilyn is excellent…and includes a phone number. I’d call that one!

Thanks! :slight_smile:

How about collecting thin branches from trees surrounding your cabin, mount them single line vertically on a piece of baseboard size wood, and place them behind your headboard. It would look like the single line of trees were growing behind your bed frame. You can either sand, shellac or do a chalk paint chic type finish.

The trees would need to be tall, thin branches and nothing would be mounted above the headboard, it would be attached to the floor, headboard or baseboard.

Another fun thing to consider. We had the same situation and spent some time in antique shops and artisan type places. Found an old hand crafted folk art piece. It was a 1850s era. Ours was a wooden whale that we assume a mariner of some sort created. It worked based on location of house and where we live. But the process and the hunt was a fun thing we did together. And not usually my thing at all.
