Modular Totemic Sculpture, Painted and Stained, based on 2x4/2x6/2x8 Douglas Fir blanks. This sculpture and base are are designed for indoor or outdoor display. Outdoor installation is best accomplished through setting in concrete or, in many applications, by utilizing the included stained and sealed base. The sculpture stands roughly 63.5” tall and approximately 20” at its widest span. The 20” x 16” x 3.5” box base can be filled with ballast (it is pictured with loose gravel and then black Ash Beach pebbles—$15/30 lb. bag at Home Depot) and it comes with adjustable feet to assist at arriving to a level stance on a hard outdoor surfaces or on floors and carpets indoors. (Note: for an additional fee of $125, the box base can be swapped out for a 12x12x3/4 steel plate base— see Totem #78 as an example.)
Construction arrived through use of a variety of power and hand saws and grinders. Sanded then treated with outdoor wood stain. The sculpture is modular in that it comes in ten separate pieces— including 2x8 and 2x6 body pieces, 2x4 arms and joints, as well as three sections of rebar— that all fit or bolt very easily together with existing fittings and hardware.
Will offer free, in-person delivery and installation for addresses within 2 hours of DC, with additional nominal fees for greater travel distances. (Note: I have undertaken delivery and installations as far from DC as California. Any buyer wishing to discuss this kind of delivery/intallation service is welcome to reach out to discuss such options.) This sculpture otherwise ships in two boxes, one 48” tube for the body pieces and a second box for the base, hardware, and detailed assembly and installation instructions.
Finally, a more detailed word about shipping. Shipping these pieces is expensive, both for the transit and for the time and materials that goes into the packaging. I currently have this set at Free Shipping CONUS, but please know that the actual shipping costs are generally high and rising. Until such time as free shipping becomes untenable, I find that my absorbing shipping costs is sufficiently outweighed by having a safe delivery and a happy buyer.
