An heirloom-quality, exhibition-grade 3D wooden flower sculpture standing exactly 36 inches tall. This design pairs a heavy, dense White Oak base and stem to maintain a low center of gravity with lightweight, elegantly sculpted Poplar petals to eliminate top-heaviness and shear stress. The stem-to-base and stem-to-hub connections utilize traditional drawbored mortise-and-tenon joinery, while the petals are secured to the hub with dual-dowel reinforcement for exceptional mechanical stability.
