Tom Gall
TOTW Team
My choice for TOTW for March 4, 2024, is “Emerging World” by Jim McLain.
This is an early work by Jim (made before his wonderful “Chaco” series) that is just outstanding. The spheres look perfect and the hemispherical base is complementary with the overall theme of the piece. I love the look of the globe with the missing segments. The colors of the Cocobolo are beautiful (except for the three support pegs which are different), but by now all have probably darkened to the same hue. Well done, Jim!
