Project Information
Untitled #5 Robert E Lee
The purpose of this project is for me as a woodworker, to use woodworking to express "art"; similar to my previous untitled series 1 - 4, they were subjects of divided American topics. Number 5 is a recent division- Robert E. Lee
Why? Because my concern is someday, even when I am gone, that a government may want to remove the Viet Nam War memorial, a war in which I was drafted into and 58,000 Americans, of my generation died.
Material: Maple; CNC carved with a 30 degree Amana tool bit; Finish 3 coats matte lacquer and Sculpt Noveau Brown wax. Software- Vetric Aspire; General Lee's design from clip art.
