The background is plywoos with textured paper and covered in copper using a cold metal spraying technique
Nice, Craig! I love how the incredible grain is obvious left-right. A lot to be attracted to this piece (without considering the massive propeller this must have been while turning). Also, it was nice talking with you guys in Portland. Hope to see you in St Paul.
Cool! I’ve wanted to experiment with similar effect on cabinet doors. Off centering a turned pattern. I’m not sure how you turned that, all at once or in segments but is cool!

It was nice meeting and talking to you in Portland as well. The nice thing about turning in front of a giant propeller it that my floor stays clean, not to mention the breeze.

Nino, I have seen some cabinet doors with offset turning and they look great. I only have a 7ft faceplate on the lathe (LOL) so I turned the middle center first and then split the sculpture in 2, working each half separately
