My latest mirror
john lucas
This is a piece I designed for the turning 30 AAW show. Just finished it last night and shot it this morning. It's called What you do today shows in the mirror tomorrow. It made of Wenge, Cocobolo, African Olive, Rhodesian Teak, Basswood, Walnut. About 17" tall. The base was an old rail road tie from Africa made out of Rhodesian Teak. Clay Foster was kind enough to leave that with me when he stayed at my former house.
After all the work on the coins I figure I have close to 30 minutes each in them. There are 30. I'm not sure how much time I have in this piece. Between the research on the net, the testing that went into finding the right wood for the coins, and then just plain making them as well as all the rest of the parts I'm probably looking at 40 or 50 hours.
