PECKY CYPRESS SEA TURTLE
This sea creature is cut into a rare wood called pecky sinker cypress. After cutting, the sea turtle is painted black and the whole piece is sealed. The pecky holes in the cypress are made by a fungus. The fungus invades the tree when it is about 125 years old and does not die until the tree dies. The sinker part of the name means the tree fell in the river or swamp after it died and remained there for many years. This wood is is at least 500 years old, and can be as much as 2000 years old.
The sea turtle is painted black. The white in the picture is showing through the piece to the background.
12 × 12.5 × 1 inches
Please note: Reclaimed wood may contain knots, cracks, nails, and other flaws. Each piece is perfectly imperfect.
