With all of the excellent work in the photo gallery, it is always simultaneously a difficult job and a pleasure (once I find the "right" one). My selection for the week of March 18, 2024, Column by Lorin Bruckin kept calling me back for another look. The combination of a leaning rough textured weathered oak column revealing layers of sedimentary rocks works perfectly together to invite closer study of the illusion of crumbling Ancient Greek ruins.Congratulations, Lorin.

Sometimes I have reservations about pieces that are carved or embellished to the point it is hard to see them as turned pieces.

Your piece is wonderful, Lorin, and celebrates a nice piece of wood without losing the turned elements.

Quite Nice!

hello Mike, I wanted to turn it as simply as possible to symbolize the Greek column, but also 😁😁, because the wood was incredibly hard. very happy that you like it in the end
