Sometimes called "parasite wood", benalu wood is a parasitic plant that feeds off the sap of a chinaberry host tree. Their unusual formations lend themselves to wonderful sculptures like this wide-eyed owl from Yudi Suardi. The artisan carves the sculpture by hand in beautiful detail. As natural, found wood pieces are used, please expect variations in the size and shape of the sculpture.

The piece is very beautiful. You can almost see the wings flutter as the hummingbirds feed. It was surprising to me how light-weight it is. And its amazing that it was created from what was basically trash wood.
