"Phi"

“Phi” is designed using the ancient golden ratio, turned and carved from one piece of Black Maire 225mmH (9”) x 325mmL (12-3/4”), with the sphere wall turned to 3mm thick and base walls 10mm thick, then textured including the Phi symbol. The sphere is lightly sandblasted and the overall texture is pyrography with an oil finish.
I was blown away to receive the Supreme award in The Art of Wood Exhibition put on by the National Association of Woodworkes NZ Inc on October 1 - 2023.

Very cool Robbie; there is so much to like here! I love the name of the award; it’s quite fitting to use Supreme with this effort for sure!!

It is a superb work based on the golden section of Pythagoras and symbolized by φ in honor of the best sculptor of Greek antiquity, Phidias! Congratulations Robbie !
