A work of art! I'm curious how you did the sculpturing. John Lucas had an article about using a router with a lathe. Will you be posting the turning and project on the forum? My complements.

I love the irregularity in the sculpture. It shows thru as truly made by a person.

@John Torchick The sculpting was done with the Fordam power carving system, mostly with a 3/4 inch round nosed burr as well as some smaller ones. Then power sanding with a 3 inch Tim Skilton sanding pad, more sanding with round nosed inflatable round nosed ball sander like the Guinevere System and then lots of hand sanding.

Thanks. The crafting shows a lot of patience. Again,my complements. We h ave had a couple of turners in our chapter that have done wall hangings. Will give it a try but it will be something simple.
