Waokiye (1750)

Yes, wood. More info here. "A 45-ton giant Sequoia redwood log was donated through the efforts of the Riverside County Fire Department and the state Division of Forestry. The 750-year-old tree, which was almost 200 feet tall, was originally from the Sequoia National Forest near Porterville. It had been struck by lightning in the mid-1950s. Moving the log which had been earmarked for the sculpture, a segment 10 by 20 feet and weighing 40,000 pounds, from central California was no easy task. Bad weather delayed the arrival of the log until the end of February 1978."

"the feather is made from an Incense Cedar from Idyllwild, it is 15 feet tall, four feet with and one-and –a-half feet thick."

The artists, Peter Wolf Toth, will be doing restoration work on this piece in February 2009. The public can come and watch for free at Cabot's Pueblo Museum in Desert Hot Springs, California.
