Very nice, Charlie. I especially like the way you located the lateral branches to best advantage. I gotta learn to do those legs some day.

Roger, thanks

yes, i have done about 5 of them now. i was trying to do suspended hf when i saw Bill Tilson's First Contact?? . that's where i got the idea

David, sorry about that.



Turnings crabbing across the floor in the night! Noooooo...


when i was a child we would go to the beach with cousins and catch sand crabs, dig wide hole to let them loose and let our cousins small dogs chase them. i mean we would catch 50 or 60. i use to not have nightmares but think i could hear them on the tile floor at night with the ocean in the backgound.

That's a neat shape, Charlie... It's definitely got the feeling of movement.

Now that is unique, to say the least, very moving:D. It does look like it could walk away on it's own and I really like the way the knots surround the opening. Nice work Charlie.

Pretty cool! Love the sense of motion the legs give the form! Looks like it has spun around to take a look at you! Nice work - especially considering how soft Pine is!
