Definitely a mix of Picasso & Dr. Suess. Maybe even a bit of Dr. Doolittle thrown in. The second and third pics show me an animal of some sort. The way the pic is taken, the angle shows me an animal with a saddle of sorts, and then the third pic when the door is open, there’s a head. Some sort of mythical something or other perhaps.
No, I haven’t had a drink, yet. Maybe I should start.

Very very nice, a real lesson on how free form wood can be for us 90 degree, square corner boys. I applaud your artistic talents of using wood as a medium and allowing it to breath life into a project.

Amazing! I’m not sure I would want one in my living room and, to be honest, I can’t really decide whether I like it or not. But I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and talent that allowed you to design and construct this memorable piece. When I look at the images, it looks like it could walk across your floor. I hope you are entering this in an art exhibit somewhere because it certainly should be shown!!!

Nice! I like the creative work and quality execution of your idea. Its much more difficult to make something that isn’t all straight edges and ninety degree angles. Fitting things must have taken a lot of time!
Good luck on the contest!

What I like Best about this piece is the woodworker isn’t there, you are seeing the wood talk to you and expose itself to you. Every piece conceals the worker who put his enormous talent into the piece and it became completely concealed (at least to me). The wood speaks out loud and clear, it laughs, it smiles, it invites you to feel the joy it has collected within and of course it shows you the beauty of the maker, both the earthly one and the heavenly one. I’ve never seen such a masterful piece of engineering become so natural.
