This was hand made by my father in law back in 1995 and has never been used. The heart measures 11 inches across and is 10.5 inches from top to bottom. It is 8.2 inches across the width of the widest part of the bows. It weighs very close to 2 lbs, so very solid construction. He sold them at craft fairs back then for $35. He is a master at making nice things out of wood. I have another one if you like this one and want another one.
