Geronimo, Pyrography on Wood

Native American Art, and pyrography on wood can be a beautiful combination. The Knothole is featuring its first in a series of 4, of Great American Indian Chiefs. Highlighting the Native American Era, and its rich history is Geronimo, the first in the artists Great Chiefs Series. Geronimo is featured on a basswood plaque with bark. Using the art of pyrography the famous image of Geronimo kneeling with rifle in 1887 is burned into the wooden plaque.

A serene portrait of an American legend and great warrior, Geronimo was a leader of the Chiricahua Apache Indian tribe in times of war against the white settlers and against Mexico, fiercely protecting his people and land. He was known among the white settlers as "The worst Indian who ever lived", because of his ruthlessness in battle and the ability to escape each capture. One of his more famous escapes is known today and you can visit Geronimo's Cave in New Mexico where his magickal escape occurred.

This basswood plaque is approximately 8" x 9" inches and is finished with the bark intact. An acrylic clear is used to fix the surface of the pyrogrpahy wood art, and secures bark to keep from flaking. The clear is a satin smooth finish, and highlights the pyrographic detail of the piece with a low gloss appearance.
