Title: Hanging Wall sculpture
Post by: GBF on August 01, 2019, 07:00:11 PM
I felt like making something different a couple of days ago something that would be a change from woodturning although there is a small amount of turning.
There is a WIP on my blog how I made this if you are interested http://wwwartistry-in-wood.blogspot.com/

George,

I've just seen the 'How I Made' this on your web site. Great story.

A very strange and unusual piece that will find a special place with someone, and you are right, the juxtaposition of the size of the bromeliad (air plant) against the height of the backboard sets it off well.

I saw this earlier on your website. I like that you got the edges of the 'routed' parts looking crisp and clean. I've never seen anything quite like it. It is a 'statement' piece. I admire your creativity.

I must confess when I first saw this I was not sure but the more I look at it the more I like it. Certainly a talking point. Well made and thought out

Thank you Derek I appreciate your commenting.
Like most things it looks better in the flesh it is a difficult one to photograph and show the detail if that makes sense
