Hand-Carved Blue Whale Sculpture

£245.00

This hand-carved wooden sculpture depicts a blue whale in a pared-back, expressive form that celebrates the scale and quiet power of the world’s largest animal.

Carved from recycled wood and finished in layered blue tones that allow the grain to remain visible, the piece balances abstraction with recognisable detail. Tool marks, subtle asymmetry, and surface variation are intentionally retained, giving the sculpture a sense of movement and individuality rather than a factory-perfect finish.

Mounted on a simple wooden base, the whale appears to glide forward, making it equally suited to display on a shelf, desk, or display case. Each piece is entirely unique, shaped by hand rather than machine, and intended to be appreciated as both an object and a sculptural form.

  • Layered blue finish with visible grain

  • Mounted on a wooden display base

  • One-of-a-kind original piece

Length: approx. 50 cm
Condition: New, handmade (intentional tool marks and surface variation)

Maker’s Notes

This piece was carved by hand in the UK. The form evolved directly from the block of wood, guided by the natural grain and proportions of the material rather than a fixed template. The finish was built up gradually to enhance depth and texture rather than conceal the surface beneath.
