Found in a bog, rotten to the bone, this un identified strand of wood was in such poor state it had to be handled with such care as to not damage or break it during transport. Once dried and treated for fungus and wood inhabiting insects, the wood was resiniated to harden the wood and thus fossilise its features. Layers of epoxy resin were then applied to thicken and amplify its relief texture. It was finally sprayed using a polyurethane high gloss piano finish lacquer.
