These beautiful handmade carvings of birds, whales and turtles have been a favorite at Forest Gems for many years. The buckeye root burl wood is native to Northern California, and is so densely and intricately figured that it is often mistaken for carved stone. But, it is wood!

Please browse our offerings that include herons, turtles, whales, and other birds. Buckeye wood is very lightweight, and these carvings come on a base of dense polished Manzanita wood for added stability. Contact us for photos of exactly what we have available!
