Handcrafted Wooden Art for Your Home
Welcome to The Sean Michael Gallery where we transform rare Manzanita burl and other woods into stunning fine art wood sculptures for your collection or home decor. Sourced ethically from the Sierra Nevada foothills, our pieces are crafted from burl that has been naturally exposed during forest clearing, ensuring we respect and preserve the beauty of the Manzanita trees. Each sculpture tells a unique story, showcasing the beauty and rarity of this extraordinary material. Elevate your space with an art piece that reflects both nature's artistry and our commitment to sustainability.
