interesting piece for sure. Looks very well done from the pictures. Not too sure about the feet, but this is the kind of thing that usually grows on me….......... Nice job Pete.

Nice work, Pete. I like the feet… ...this piece sort of looks like a UFO. The burning and carving add a nice touch, too.

Nice one Pete.
#4 looks like a prototype three point hydrofoil, maybe to run you quickly out to Waiheke on a Sunday afternoon.

Great piece. I especially like the 'extensions' on the feet; hadn't seen that idea before. It adds to the look, and in a good way. The carved-in burning is nice, too. And your treatment of the underside is great. I'd call that piece a fine success!

Thanks all for your very kind comments, Brian just trying something different and didn't want it sitting on the tips, still playing with suspension/feet.
Paul the weather here is perfect for a Waiheke trip at present, we have had months of fine weather, now in Autumn & still 24d every day blue skies
Not sure about flying Roz :)

Pete, Your turnings are always inspiring, and this one is no different. I like the shape, design that is carved into the wings, the underside is well done. Then there is the finish, overall this is one gorgeous piece!!

Thanks for sharing…..

Beautiful and unusual. I love the carving, too. The shape is awesome, and reminds me of a UFO of sorts.
