Hi Jo....a perfect choice of timber species for this...it couldn't really have been anything else! I'm seeing clear similarities with your more recent piece, Le Dernier Cri, and even though there are clear similarities, the meaning of each piece seems so different to the other. I'd be happy to have it sitting on my shelf!

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Thanks Dave and Les.
Yes Les, altough the look is similar, but the turning is much more difficult for this object.
