A little info on the artist:

Jerry Wedekind has been scouring the Colorado wilderness for over 30 years for the finest aged wood to create these striking collectibles. He often takes flight, searching like an eagle in the sky, to locate rare and unusual burls, which from the sky look like a black target against the white aspen bark and snow covered ground. With his GPS system, he records the location of each potential piece to collect on foot later.

At his workshop, he carefully categorizes his bounty and plans which will become lamps and art pieces. Jerry uses a variety of hardwoods including aspen, maple, alligator juniper, Russian olive and other regional specimens, all harvested from standing dead trees at the peak of richness and figure. These fine collectible wood materials are the basis for his impressive, one of kind heirloom creations.
