Finishing the old year
With the New Year quickly approaching I always try to finish all the projects that have been idled for whatever reason over the last 12 months. The last one on my list is a bit of brass polishing from an ancient kerosene lamp off an even older schooner. Not something for a woodworking post. So, this piece has been under off & on construction for a bit and paused now & then for other (paying) endeavours. Quite a bit bigger than my usual postings. Finished and waxed just this morning, and presented for your consideration. Happy New Year!
Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.

Wow! That’s amazing! Nicely done.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
What a great design Joe. This is the crescendo of months of illusions.

Pottz; Most grow out of simple shapes twisted 30 or 60 degrees out of true. Squares, diamonds triangles etc. Then I add my design elements and a whole new shape evolves. By determining the direction of "light" falling on the drawing the different species are applied to give the illusion of 3D. Some are common shapes from across the internet. A form of the tree for example has been produced by innumerable woodworkers over the past few years. I took it and re-drew the shape to work to my benefit then putting into play those aforementioned elements its presentation is now entirely different and unique.
