Guido Fernandez, coffee root sculpture - woodpecker pair, San Rafael de Heredia
$425.00
Code: CRFA045
Size: 20" tall x 6 ¾”wide (51 x 17 cms)
Fernandez, a resident of San Rafael. Heredia Province in the Central Valley, takes advantage of his location for most of the raw material for his sculptures: coffee bush root and stalk. Coffee wood abounds in the Central Valley, one of Costa Rica's major regions for coffee cultivation. Coffee is a joy to carve for its density, however, one cannot find trunks thicker than 7" diameter, so the sculptor is challenged by the natural contours and size of such wood. This sculpture captures so well the natural pose and antics of a nesting woodpecker pair.
