That is so fascinating! A little scary, but how bad can it be with a bowl of chips on it? Nice use of materials, and a very good concept.

Interesting all right. How bad can it be if it tips over on a small child?

Topo,
If you can afford this piece of art, you probably have grandchildren out on their own, or definitely someone to watch those who may not be.

It’s definitely a fantastic piece of art. Little tikes have a habit of showing up where they shouldn’t be or aren’t expected and tipping thing over. That would be my concern about using it as a table.

what a beauitiful piece….i love the wood choices very cool table…....hey topa, use it for a electrical hat…have electrical probes on the spike ends…....maybe the goverment can add it to its line up…next to waterboarding…..the agent lays on the table top…..moves around just a little….or maybe it would be considered a tickle machine…...whatever the concerns…..its a job well done…..
