Mako Sharks can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour, making them the fastest of all sharks. The transparent hues of this wood and metal wall sculpture allow the wood's long grain to show through, enhancing the impression of speed. The body is made from soft maple, a sustainable hardwood that is harvested in the USA. The transparent colors are blended into a VOC-free resin. All the necessary hardware for hanging this piece is included, and it's signed on the back. Due to the handmade nature of this work, each will vary slightly.
