Branch Ends & Fungus Cast Pieces

Hand-made; Designed & Produced in the USA

Some details are too good to carve by hand every time.

Bracket fungi, splintered branch ends, root clusters, the kind of fine naturalistic elements that make an environment feel genuinely inhabited rather than constructed. These are the details that audiences notice without knowing why, and they are also the details most likely to get damaged in a high-traffic exhibit or outdoor installation. Cast once in durable urethane and they hold up to weather, heavy use, and in zoo and aquarium settings, the animals themselves.

Every piece is sold unpainted so you can color it to match your specific environment, your palette, your geology, your vision. Installation instructions are included with every order.

Browse the pieces below and see what a well-placed detail can do for a composition. Custom orders are welcome, so if you need something specific that is not shown here, reach out and we can talk through it.
