Walking Octopus
Hand carved walking Octopus. Carved from three and four inch cedar planks, this Octopus is based on a 19th century maritime woodcut.
The Octopus is carved in modified 3D: the back is totally flat, while the front is fully carved and features undercuts and overlaps to exaggerate the feeling of motion and real life movement.
Finished in distressed antique white with a furniture wax top-coat, the Octopus is displayed on the wall using a French cleat that secures it while making it easy to install and move if necessary. All materials needed for display are included.
We can customize this carving to reflect different sizes or coloring. Please Contact us for more infomation if you'd like to discuss a commission.
Staying true to our roots, all our carvings are created using only domestic materials from the US: locally sourced, sustainably harvested cedar, custom mixed paints, and beeswax finish.
The wall-mounted mixed assembly hangs securely from hangers on the reverse, just like a picture frame.
