much later but still here!!




“Siblings”
 Successive natural-edged cross-sections of an old dry knarled branch of osage orange. This wood is so delightful to work with – hard, fine-grained, shows little sanding marks. Pieces are simply attached with unglued wooden pegs, allowing rearrangements if desired. This sculpture is about three feet high. Two pieces VERY  lightly dyed. All pieces are finished with 1/1/1 solvent/oil/poly, which I understand, after all the complications, convolutions, secrets and complexities of described finishes, is in the end “danish oil”.
