Handcrafted Garden Totems Each of my Totems are thoughtfully crafted from fir or western cedar—never pressure-treated wood, as paint won’t adhere properly to treated surfaces. I prime every piece with a high-quality exterior bonding primer, then paint using professional-grade exterior mural paint. To protect against fading and the elements, each Totem is finished with three coats of UV-resistant marine varnish for lasting vibrancy and durability. Easy Installation Each Totem comes with mounting hardware: - A re-bar stake is included—drive it into the ground, leaving 10–12" exposed. - The Totem base is drilled 12" deep to slide securely over the re-bar. - Adjust by gently pushing or pulling to get it plumb (or tilt it for a playful accent!). Tools needed: a heavy hammer and a level (optional, but helpful). Available Sizes & Pricing: Small, 30 inches, $195.00 Medium, (this listing) 42 inches, $245.00 Large, 54 inches, $295.00 X-Large, 66 inches, $340.00 Color Options: Choose from three signature color schemes: - Earthy – warm, natural tones - Bright (this listing) – bold and cheerful - Jewel – rich, saturated hues See other listings for other size and color choices To extend the life and brilliance of your Totem: - Place it in a shaded area to reduce sun exposure. - Store indoors during winter months, when sunlight is most intense. Especially if you won't be seeing and enjoying it in the off season. - Reapply marine varnish every couple of years to keep colors vivid for many seasons to come. Need extra clear coat? Message me to purchase additional varnish. Natural Features: These Totems are made from real wood, and natural features like knots or grain variations may be visible. I do my best to minimize these, but I believe they add character and uniqueness to each piece. Shipping Policy: Free Shipping! My Totems are hand made to order.
