75.00 USD

Unique handmade wood world globe was made long ago by a woodworking enthusiast in his basement workshop. The continents were carefully carved into the wooden orb's surface along with the outlines of various countries.

The unusual wooden globe fits into a wood base. The salvage piece looks as though it might have been meant to be a staircase banister finial. No matter what its original purpose, the vintage wood globe would look great as an office accent, library decor, or paperweight.

The wood globe and base show wear including chipped veneer and a few red ink-like spots on the base and above South America.

The 4" diameter globe stands approximately 7 1/2" tall on its wood base.
