Henry Thoreau's Walden quote has been hand-burned onto a slice of wood: "I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." This one-of-a-kind shelf-sitter has four bumpers as feet and is sealed with a polyurethane finish. Measures about 9.5 x 7.5 inches, with a bark edge almost two inches wide. Wood grains vary for each item. You may be sent a photo before your order is fulfilled. Crafted in Massachusetts by Burning Woman.
