If you look, you'll see rings indicating that these items were turned....... Jerry (in Tucson)

Sorry, but not my cup of tea

Hi Charlie: I'm probably with the rest of the folks in not understanding your vision. Maybe if you have time, could you give us the low-down on what you are expressing, and how this came to be?

Montgomery, the cherry was turned on 4 axis, was not sanded, thanks for looking

Jerry and Al, thanks for looking and commenting

Michelle, i visited St. Augustine while attending the Hokies bowl game over the holidays
this is just a combo portrait/landscape
in a gallery classification it would be multi-media
turning, carving, burning, drawing, color added

the spiral at bottom with the two arcs making the x, could be a time warp......and then there is the star
but the viewer will have to decide what if anything it means to them

thanks for looking

[Michelle Rich]

thanks charlie..it helped me to see what you were trying to express. I never guessed time warp! I like time warp!

Michelle, the star....have you ever wished upon a star....i imagine the experience is much the same thoughout the ages......if you are the new guy, and have been given the duty, no moon, just the stars, and you wish upon a star, to get though the watch without anything happening......that's where i got The Sentinel ......
