.. of apricot wood .. unfortunately it was pretty cool, as you see it cracked at the sapwood and thought I'd take it off completely, the finish is boiled linseed oil .. The inside is lined with mother of pearl pasta and acrylic paint .. I'm undecided whether to add a dash of mild to increase the brightness inside .. as it seemed "obvious" .. (IMHO) the ball to you and be good because it is the first of its kind .we know 'was almost 3 months behind .. :o. the photos are definitely sucks .. :mad:.... Thanks for your assistance and advice ... :)

Now thats different! Can't quite say I like it though, just not my taste. Great job on the save though.

Francesco,

I really like the idea here (because of a save or for what ever reason). The dark graining lines on the outside and the void areas are really cool. I really don't care for the white interior though. That might just be personal preference. I believe I would have prefered a very dark or even a gold or copper guilding.

Overall, it is very interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Much originality and very well done! One doesn't see something like this every day, that is for sure. Nice work........what was your inspiration?

hello Roger , difficult to explain thinking is so intimate and personal, but I try:
in my work I prefer to avoid using paint because I always want to see the wood grain, but in this case the paint is part of the work as it represents therebirth matter overflowing from the outside and ideally will cover all the exterior, with its burning and its defects, generating an egg is considered that since ancient symbol of life .. :)
.. I hope I have explained the best, sorry for my bad English :( ... and thanks for your particular interest .. :)

Francesco, I am not sure I totally grasp the inspiration, but the execution of this work is superb. The decision to open the form was the right one and the painting on the outside is perfectly done - great flow and proportions. I think the inside color needs to be more to the very, very light yellow hue.

What is the "mother of pearl pasta"? Very neat look!

WILD!!! eye-popper!!!

I think you need to post a couple more pix... just kidding. ;)

Very interesting hollow form! With that many voids and cracks, it must have kept you on your toes though...
