How big is it? Looks fantastic!! Where did the idea come from?

That’s beautiful. How did you get the walnut to attach to the copper?

Gorgeous, Alex, just absolutely gorgeous. The walnut and the copper go so well together—a perfect match. Not only do you have an eye for a work of art, you certainly know how to create it.

At 48” this is obviously a feature piece, there is a nice harmony between the metal & walnut,
you have shared a lovely example of craftmanship & attention to detail, the photos show it will stand up to an scrutiny.
I am curious, how long did it take to complete?

Outstanding piece of woodworking there Alex. True artistry. The combination of materials is perfect and the execution is terrific. Love it.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt!

When I first saw you work I thought it was “nice”, I looked at the pictures before I read your description.

After I realized how large the piece was, I’m FAR more impressed. This goes past “nice”. This is well into the “Fantastic” range.

I hope you decide to perhaps BLOG further about this piece, I for one am very interested in the details.

I’d like to try to adapt some of your techniques, to other projects. The Walnut / Copper contrast is exceptional.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow Alex, I missed this when you first posted this but wow! That is just gorgeous. I’m sure that your clients loved it.
