Imported wood

Just imported some beech from Europe, 1.25 cu. ft. @ £244  per cubic foot may seem somewhat expensive but some interesting work will be forthcoming, I hope.

Macro

Trying out new macro equipment. Close up of miniature fungus.

New to CNC

First experiments in converting images into cnc textures.

Online Exhibition

Very pleased to see my work in the "Turned and Sculpted Wood 2017" exhibition. www.woodsymphony.com

Two older pieces

These two older pieces have also been submitted for the exhibition. I didn't have time to produce more new works.

Finished

Progress

Making progress after my holiday. Submission date is fast approaching.

Still swapping between lathe and bench refining shape and form. Lots of carving and filing going on. Gradually approaching the point where I can begin texturing and adding colour.

Waiting for extra tools to arrive from the US to assist with completion.

Satisfaction and excitement with working again cannot be measured. Many new art materials and processes to explore in my next pieces.

Recently purchased Zbrush8 plus a photo to 3d program, both will extend possibilities and aid visualisation.
