    Something Different

    This is a spherical ribbon assembled from four stave-constructed half-bowls. Banksia pods were quartered and compound-mitered to construct the bowls. It’s about 12" tall including the stand of macassar ebony.

    Malcolm that is gorgeous! It looks like beaten bronze or copper! That would look great sitting in someone's library.

    Absolutely stunning work Malcom. After seeing a number of your pieces I can at least see how you did this one. Now if I only had some ability.

    Malcolm, that's really very inventive...the pods are quite the unique material for this, too!
