When I looked at the first picture, I thought, gee this is kind of interesting. When the 2nd picture came up I was blown away. I did not expect that profile to be so slender and undulating. Very cool, thanks for the post.

I tried to turn a bowl out of mesquite. Too tough.

We did make a few bandsawn boxes out of the supply.

Makes your worm all the more impressive.

Nice job.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

You carve in their memory and I cringe when I see what they have done to my stash…oh well, I also microwave them if the piece is small enough (usually not though).
Looks very good!

This is one of those pieces that goes past woodworking…. it’s a true work of art.

Quite an original piece. I like the visual effects, but I start leaning to the right while I’m viewing it. Have you titled this piece yet? How about “The Leaning Worm Tower of Mesquite”?

That is great! How did you do it?

That is special. Very nice piece. Thanks for sharing

Thank you all for your kind remarks.This piece was started with a small electric chainsaw and then I went through several different power carving burrs to refine the shape.Then of course,lots of sanding and finishing. I’m glad you all enjoyed the finished work.
