Essence 12 (2025) is a small, one-of-a-kind wooden sculpture that makes an intimate and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift. Handcrafted from crimson bottlebrush burl salvaged from a fallen tree in Glendowie, this piece celebrates density, warmth, and natural pattern.
The compact form highlights the burl’s intricate grain and deep crimson tones, giving the sculpture a strong yet refined presence despite its scale. Finished with natural oil and wax, the surface enhances the richness of the wood while preserving its organic character.
As a Valentine’s Day gift, Essence 12 offers a lasting alternative to the fleeting—an artwork made from reclaimed New Zealand timber that symbolizes closeness, care, and enduring connection. Each sculpture is entirely unique, making it a personal expression of love.
