At a modest size of 18” X 44”, it is best wall mounted to showcase its exceptional features. Alternatively, the Arizonian board could be converted to a side table to add excitement to a luxurious room. Whatever the method of display, it will bring joy as you explore the hidden history locked in this once giant pine.
