Red Widow

Whoa!!!!!!!!! This is cool, and I think of stone for fangs, as I cut gems also, so all kinds of things come to mind in this piece. This is one of the best things I’ve seen on LJ’s. Where’s the hour glass?

-- Dan Wiggins

That is pretty amazing. Can’t wait to see more. I would love to see some progress photos too.

Sweet! He looks scary.

I love the flowing, sculptural quality of the legs. I like the dyeing also. Why only six legs? Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Dale, that is “wicked”!...(I mean in an amazing kind of way)...wow.

Can’t wait to see it finished.

Thanks for posting it.

One word…WOW !!!!!

-- Don S.E. OK

Creepy, but beautiful. And I thought I was getting to like spiders. Maybe this one got into a fight and lost two legs.

Awesome! Truly extraordinary, just love the texture and concept. It says touch me and yet repulses at the same time.

What is it made from, and how was it created
Great look

very nice

-- Rob — I've cut it off twice and it's still too short!

that it cool!

-- Do we do this for purpose or passion?

I would seriously consider leaving off the fangs and face. It looks so creepy and interesting the way it is now with the hole in the front. I really like it. It does seem like it needs 8 legs though if you are going to call it a spider.

But if you just called it “thing” and left it as is, it’s so cool and mysterious. It leaves more to the imagination. At first glance it makes you say, wow, is it a spider? Is it an alien? Is it a bug? And makes you look at it and think about it even more.

Either way, great concept and incredible execution.

IF you added a large pincher it could be a crab for the rest of it’s life. Very interesting piece.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Never been a spider fan. but that’s pretty sweet.

-- Marty Ohio

Looks like a bear claw. So now you have a choice…’s. : ) That opens a whole new field Bigwoodturner and its similar to my current project. Very intriguing and fun!
Thankyou.

Very nice work on the sculpture. I couldn’t tell that you used maple for this red crawler, cool stain job
