Bronzes on Polished Petrified Wood or Hornfels
When I came up with my family of slightly larger and more traditional Desk Buddies , Alex, Bill, Bob, Jess, and Riley , I had the idea that they would look cool framed by natural materials. I knew a guy who could hook me up with petrified wood and a very slick metamorphic rock called hornfels from northern New Mexico.
So what I do is make my pieces available on custom stones in three sizes: small for $75, medium for $125, and large for $175. Each has a polished top and usually one polished side. Obviously, each is unique, but all are beautiful! I then just add the cost of the Desk Buddy to the base.
So the price for the pieces you see here as examples would be:
- Alex on medium hornfels: $365 + $125 = $490
- Bob on medium hornfels: $415 + $125 = $540
- Bill on medium petrified wood: $390 + $125 = $515
- Jess on medium petrified wood:Â $400 + $125 = $525
- Riley on large petrified wood:Â $415 + $175 = $590
- And so on!
The Desk Buddies all fit in your hand, so that gives you an idea of the scale of these pieces. I can send specific measurements and images of available stone options if you’d like.
This combination makes a very powerful presence in a small package.
