I havent posted for awhile due work constraints and gallery work, not to mention the coming festive season.
This piece is heart Camphor Laurel with a little bit of sap layer to give it contrast, although in this shot its not there. It stands 27cm high with a girth of 15cm. Its been oiled a couple of times with DO and heavily buffed.
Random convex embellishment couldnt really call it spirals

The inspiration for this one comes from two areas. Initially one of those Chinese wire bound paper lanterns and the ripples and reflections in a pond . It can be either depending on your view point.
