This is hand made from a piece of the actual pipeline pipeused in the originalconstruction of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
I have not cleaned it at all, you can see very minor surface rust from being in my garage for a couple years.
The pine boards it is mounted to is broken at the back base, I have not attempted any repair, it is a clean break and both parts are there.
Overall measures 11 1/2\" wide x 13 1/2\" high, the word Alaska is 8 1/2\" wide, weight is 10lb
Very cool piece
