Carved into a richly toned live-edge slab shaped like a maple leaf, this 2.5D piece captures the untamed energy of Colorado—where rugged land, changing seasons, and wild freedom collide. The natural silhouette of the leaf gives the piece an organic, almost symbolic presence, as if the landscape itself has been preserved in time.
Across the lower portion, a herd of galloping horses emerges in sculpted relief, their movement echoing the raw, independent spirit of the West. Above them, the engraved words “Wild Colorado” anchor the piece with a sense of place—bold, simple, and deeply rooted.
The deep, reddish finish enhances the wood’s natural grain and dramatic cracks, which are intentionally preserved as part of the composition. These fractures run through the piece like fault lines in the earth—adding character, history, and a sense of resilience.
Framed by its natural live edge and sealed with a smooth, high-gloss finish, the piece reflects light in a way that highlights both the carving and the wood’s natural variation, making it shift in tone and depth depending on the viewing angle.
