Wood on Wood – One-of-a-Kind Oak and Timber Sculpture

 Wood on Wood Dimensions: 20” x 64” x 20”
Material: block of oak

The sculpture by Karl Geckler  is a rare one-of-a-kind sculpture that tells a tactile story of nature, time, and craftsmanship. The top element—a block of oak softened and shaped by years submerged in Lake Erie. It has naturally rounded corners and a distinctive texture that can only be achieved through patience and environmental exposure. Its weathered character is both raw and refined, making it a conversation piece rich in material history.

Geckler notes that this piece is designed with versatility in mind. It could be custom-mounted on a steel plate with a center pin for added stability (due to its top-heavy nature), and the top piece can be fixed securely upon purchase. “I’m waiting to drill a hole in that special piece until someone purchases,” he explains. Furthermore emphasizing the value of preservation and intent in the customization process.

Ideal for boutique hotel lobbies, contemporary interiors, or nature-inspired art collections, this sculpture blends organic form with sculptural minimalism, offering an anchor of warmth and material integrity in any space.
