Putting together the finishing touches

Solid pistachio. Desert-cured, sun-fired, one of one.

This wood started its life in an orchard just outside Exeter, California. Around 2021 the orchard died and the trees were being ripped out and burned. A woodworker out of central Arizona couldn’t stand watching good wood go to ash, so he hauled the logs across the desert to save them. They’ve been drying ever since — close to five years now. This pedestal came from one of the very last logs off that orchard.

Then it spent its finishing days baking in the Arizona sun. That’s what pulls the deep reds and burgundy up out of the grain — no stain, no dye, just heat and time. Sanded to 400 grit and sealed with a wipe-on poly for a soft satin glow.

Look close and you’ll see it: bullseye rings, black lightning cracks, cream-and-rust sapwood that swirls like smoke. Pistachio is orchard wood — rare in this size, and no two blocks ever land the same.

Stands 23” tall, 4.75” square, a hefty 19+ lbs of dense hardwood. Heavy enough to anchor a corner, a hearth, an entryway. Drop a bud vase on top (like the pic), a trailing plant, a candle, a sculpture — or let it stand as the sculpture.

This one’s a showstopper. People always ask about it. Now you’ll have the answer.

Ship or local pickup.
