This is my first attempt at this sort of work. I hate to mention his name in the same sentence as my work and I hope it is not insulting to him but I hope you might see a little Gordon Pembrigde influence. The piece is about 9" tall and 7 in in dia made from local Birch. When I turned it I had not planned tho do the piercing and it is WAY too thick but I persevered and it turned out ok. I have had several people want to add it to their collections even before it was complete. It really gave my high speed air dental type tool a workout and the painting was a challenge. I have plans for more and with any luck each one will be better than the last!
