Back Country Stream 9
Well it is about time I posted
something on the AAW
again. Another of my Back
Country Stream pieces, this
time I have gone for a
complimentary colour scheme.
The colours on the outside of
the piece are inspired by the
New Zealand Paua shell and a
contrasting colour on the
inside to add interest. This
piece is the biggest I have
done so far.185mm height x
245mm in diameter. I would
just like to say that the
amount of work on a larger
piece is not proportional to the
size increase !!GRIN As always
I enjoy any comments.
Kindest Regards to you all out
there. Gordon

Gordon this is absolutely stunning! Hope you do not mind but I gave out your website url in the forum. There is a thread on piercing. Don't think you have to worry about being copied. Good to see you post here.
Be well. Bill
 
Truly exceptional. The attention to detail, the piercing, the form, even the foot: a work of art.
 
First, AMAZING piece! Do you freehand or draw a pattern on first?
Terry Scott tells me that you killed your Powercrafter and went with the NSK. How is that one holding up? My powercrafter seems to be having a hard time keeping up with me. I know there are limits to what they can do but I wonder how much better the NSK is and whether I should get one ordered through Binh. Thanks.
 
If you would like to see more of this piece have a look in Gordon's Gallery at www.timberly.co.nz
Stunning work mate
