This sculpture, “Guardian of the Forest” stands in a remote corner of the northwoods of Wisconsin; it was built by my nephew Justin in 2005. He was then 24 years of age.
Justin created the sculpture primarily out of found objects – mainly culverts, he says – execept for 3 pieces that he crafted himself ~ the sword and neck piece are made of stainless steel and the spiked ring star is made of brass.

A powerful work of art. I love this. Thank you Cnawan. Glad to see you back. 🌷
Thank you so much, Dawn. I’ll pass your praise on to Justin!
Yes please do❤️
Wow, that’s beautiful! He’s incredibly talented!
Isn’t it! Yes, he really is. And the most humble man you’ll ever meet. I’ll let him know how much you like it!
Oh, yes, please do! 🙂
Wonderful work of art !! It speaks volumes to me. Justin is a man with a beautiful heart. :o)
Thank you for such a lovely comment! And yes, it does speak volumes. I’ll be sure to have him read your words.
Wow, amazing detail and movement in that sculpture! As you know, Wisconsin is my home territory, so I well know how inspiring the forests are up there — critical to preserve by any means necessary (including magic — or at least art!)
What a fabulous piece!
I’ll let him know your sentiments, Deborah Jay! Thank you!
Wow this is fantastic! I think we all need reminders that we have guardians. This is a wonderful reminder I think! 🙂
So true!
I see a shift in you! Not that I see you but I feel it! This is wonderful! 😀 I’m happy for you!
Perhaps he can help us invoke protection for the terrible Forest Fires ravaging Canada, Alaska and California… ❤ (wonderful craftsmanship!)
This is an interesting thought…. I’ll make an inquiry…
