Translucent Pine

32-up Torchere

Mostly, I just plan to show my latest work on this site, but this site, but this unique and beautiful art piece remains one of my favorite things. At the time, I was obsessed with the annular rings of trees, and the pattern in this mixes linear grain, with curly patterns. It’s almost as if the tree has been x-rayed. Insanely difficult to build. Someone who owned a lumber company told me it was almost impossible to make veneer from pine knots. Really glad I didn’t talk to him until AFTER I finished the first of these.
