This is an artificial stereo pair of images, which may be viewable by de-crossing your eyes, as done with free-viewing stereo images. If corresponding elements are more than about 2 1/2 inches apart on screen, you may need to adjust your screen resolution, or abandon free-viewing stereo.
Sixty-four long-grain elbows were cut from 32 donuts turned in red oak, from a tree I felled last December. The finial and the base came from the same tree. There are angular errors in the first and last elbows, resulting in imperfect alignment. The elbows form a space-filling curve, with elbows at the 64 nodes of a cube with 9 sub-cubes. Each glue joint is imperfect in its own way, for a variety of reasons; mostly from limited turning skill, but also from forgetting which sub-assembly joint I had just glued. Finished with EEE & paste wax, before assembly. Final dimensions: 11.5"W x 17"H.
It isn't as bad as the picture portrays. The mis-alignment is less pronounced, as is the overall redness. The stereo effect is exaggerated.
Owing to other objectives, I'm not sure how far I want to chase this particular Muse. There are many possibilities. At minimum, I'd develop a more effective clamping protocol, and use KD wood. And solve the angular error hiccup, which is probably repairable.
