Artisan Crafted Fine Mahogany and Cedar Wood Tree Sculpture, "Tree of Life"
"I made this sculpture as a tribute to life," confides John Barrow. "The different colors represent the joy of life, of feeling, and of having hope for the future. Its optimism is contagious." Barrow crafts the sculpture with hand-carved segments of cedar, mahogany and ishpingo woods. He stains the woods with colorful natural dyes.

"Wow!"
It looks good in the picture but it looks even better in person. Also it wasnt obvious from the picture that there are a few purple feathers, which since purple is my favorite color is an absolute bonus.
