definitely “parts of the whole”.
Nicely done

Great work. Very nice interpretation of Escher in wooden form. You are right, his work is the essence of yin/yang.

Absolutely splendid work!

I need to know was each piece done separately or did you do one piece and use a router or something to duplicate it? I would love to copy this – I am a huge Escher fan and the walnut/maple combination I use a lot as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments.

Bob,

I take a 3/8”x 6”x6” piece of maple, and one of walnut, and sandwich them together. I use 5/8”, 18 gauge brads, and clear packing tape. Then you scroll cut the pattern and fit them together, mating 1 piece from the top, with an adjoining piece from the bottom. Does that make sense?
The pieces don’t stay together like a puzzle, so I super glue them together.

Great job & a great entry for the contest.

I love MC Eschers work. I never thought about replicating it with woodworking. Very nice job!

i’m a fan of escher and of your work…do you have more plans with other works of his?

smoke,
I’ve adapted a few more of Escher’s drawings into plans, but I haven’t gotten to them yet. I need to mill up some more walnut and maple. I did one out of baltic birch, but there’s no contrast, unless I stain them.
I thought that I had posted them already. I’ll put them up.
