An abstract wooden sculpture carved out of walnut and displayed on a granite base.
Unfurling
One of the great moments in working with wood is the first application of a finish. It is at this point that all the beauty of the wood is revealed. All the colors and the grain patterns come to life, sometimes in ways I don't expect. I am really struck by the beauty of the wood in this piece, the colors are spectacular. The design is purposefully simple with long curvy lines giving it a graceful feel. Unfurling was carved out of a large chunk of walnut.
