House of Leon Sculpture Pedestal

Shou-sugi-ban is a traditional Japanese technique where the wood surface is charred to create a textured, durable finish. While the process creates a distinct look, the pedestal is finished with a clear matte seal to lock in the char and prevent residue from transferring to your hands or home surfaces.

Yes, the substantial 96-pound weight provides an exceptionally stable, grounding base for heavy art pieces. Its solid Douglas Fir construction ensures it won't easily tip or wobble, making it a secure choice for displaying valuable or weighty decor.

The pedestal is low-maintenance. Because it is sealed with a clear matte finish, you only need to dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, which can alter the natural texture of the charred wood.

As a natural, solid wood product, the Douglas Fir will react to changes in your home's humidity and temperature. You may notice subtle expansion or contraction, which is a normal characteristic of organic materials and adds to the unique, evolving character of the piece.

This piece is designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, rain, or extreme outdoor humidity levels can compromise the wood's integrity and the finish over time.
