Meet The Shasta Daisy No61— a wooden robot born from wind, wildflower, and salvaged wonder.
Its body is sculpted from richly figured buckeye burl (Aesculus californica), rescued and revived with dots of red jasper inlay beneath the grain. Set within its chest sits a single Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum), forever caught in a gentle breeze—an emblem of resilience, simplicity, and quiet joy.
The eyes are unlike any other: two cross-sections of protea blooms, their intricate geometry framed before a sky of luminous mother-of-pearl. They give the bot a gaze that feels both ancient and bright, like a flower remembering its time in the sun.
Its head, carved from stabilized redwood burl (Sequoia sempervirens), carries the swirling history of fog-fed giants—each curl and flame of grain a testament to centuries of patience and light. Every piece of natural material in this sculpture has been hand-harvested with intention and gratitude (all but the jasper, born of stone).
The bot stands on a base of curly claro walnut (Juglans hindsii), a piece once destined to become the butt of a rifle. Redirecting that history into a powerful artistic weapon—one of peace, beauty, and imagination—feels like a small redemption held in wood.
Together with its stand, The Shasta Daisy measures 15 inches tall and 5 inches wide.
A gentle guardian of bloom and burl, crafted for dreamers who know that even a single daisy can change the story.
