New Work
dick gerard
Okay, I know it has been a few months ... actually more like 6 months since I posted anything new, other than my Kickstarter campaign.
So, here are some quick shots of what I have been up to.
This is a trio of acrylic castings with included burls. All 3 spheres are about 2.75 inches in diameter.

This group of 6 spheres, each about 2.75 inches in diameter, represents wood supplied to me by Nave Sawmill. She will be in SWAT as will 3 of these spheres. Woods are Texas Ebony, Pecan and Honey Mesquite.

This next one is a larger (4.5 - 5 inch) sphere made from,( I think) spalted ambrosia maple burl.

This trio is ash, turned green, places in ziploc bags with shavings for 3-4 months. Yes they cracked. I plan to use some metal powder inlay on at least one of them. Will repost when finished.

A trio of spheres made from burl pieces that were cast in acrylic of some sort. I did not do the castings, I just turned them.
