Sandblasted Grapewood, vertical mount piece, 18" tall. This twisted wood makes a wonderful alternative to Manzanita and is extremely beautiful as a centerpiece. Mounted vertically, the branches are perfect for hanging items and adding flowers or other material. Cases of 3 pieces also available. Save on shipping costs and product.

Each piece is cut flat at the bottom so that it can be mounted on a flat base of wood, within a container, or any other mounting method of your choosing. They are not pre-mounted.

Grapewood wire: Grapewood comes from vineyards throughout California, and is grown on wire-strung posts. As the vines grow, the grapewood often envelopes the wire, and sometimes sections of wire will be found with some pieces (visible or not). If the wire can be easily removed, our staff will remove it. Otherwise, you can use strong wire cutters to remove any visible sections.

Shipping: These are larger, wider, and heavier pieces and require a large box to ship - typically 20" x 20" x 15". FedEx costs are a bit higher as a result.

All of our natural wood products, such as grapewood and manzanita are not treated with any chemicals, paints or solvents (except where noted in the description) and are safe for pet habitats.

HUMID CLIMATE NOTICE: Storing sandblasted grapewood in an enclosed box will result in mold development. They MUST BE stored in a cool, dry location with air circulation. There are no returns or refunds for pieces with mold.

• Size: sizes are approximate and vary with each piece, harvest, and time of year.

Every grapewood branch is unique. The grapewood photo for this product is a random example and is not the actual piece shipped.

Natural Branches: Consistently Inconsistent!

When purchasing natural branches such as Manzanita, Curly Willow, Birch and Grapewood, keep in mind that they are unlike other decorative branches used for floral design. Each one is an individual shape and sculpture, and may take on a variety of shapes and variations. Most professional centerpieces are created using several branches to achieve a full look, so always consider purchasing additional pieces or fillers. This needs to be a first consideration when purchasing your branches.

It's best to order your branches all at once. If you place an order today, and another order in a week, you will nearly always see a difference in the product. This is because the harvest areas change every 2-4 days, resulting in changes in the harvested product. No two harvests are ever the same.
