It’s a pretty special piece, to me anyway.

That is a beautiful piece of artwork! Thanks for sharing your process. Loved the curling iron idea for curling the veneer.

Wow, that really cool. Never would have thought of that way to curl wood. Super creative project, Debbie

Wow! This project is “deep”. Thanks for sharing the creative process and the story behind it. (Do I need to add curling irons to my list of tools to get?)

Impressive. Lovely. clever. beautiful.

thanks everyone :)

I guess I should add the curling iron brand to Martin’s list.

That’s pretty slick MsDebbie. I think after using the wife’s giant soup pot to steam wood in lately, I better stay away from the curling iron ;)

Beautiful interpretation of nothing .
I like how you took all these elements and gave them form.
Yes the old curling iron does the trick and along with steam and a hot air gun even a hot pipe some nice bending forms can easily be archived .

Thank-you

I love wood sculpture, Well done! Now you have me trying to think of a way to use that process :)

Wow Debbie. How creative! What I like best is your problem-solving and not letting it stop you. Sometimes I have to think for a long time, and when the solution comes, it seems so obvious. That’s a really good job, and a beautiful piece to show for it.

10 years old and it’s still holding up …. in its physical form as well as with my personal path.
