This tree measures aprox. 32″w x 33″h and “floats” about 2-3″ from the wall it is mounted on, allowing it to have a nice little shadow where it is hung. It requires only one nail to hang it, and the hanger is centered such that the tree is balanced in a vertical position on the wall without needing constant straightening.

The tree trunk was hand cut from mild steel using a Plasma torch, and then every square inch of the surface was welded utilizing a technique I developed that mimics natural bark texture (looks much better in person). The leaves were hand cut from stainless steel sheet and then texture ground in a manner that reflects light in random patterns. As you move in front of the tree, the light dances around from place to place.
