Project Information

I have been intrigued with eyes lately and I saw a painting of this one while searching for new project. I made my pattern with painting in mind and this is what I came up with. I liked the idea of the zebra seeing the lion at the last second. Did he get away? You make the call.

It was made with koa, walnut, mahogany, ebony, black mesquite, yellow heart, cocobolo, lace wood, aspen, curly maple, wenge, and butternut. The eye is raised to about an inch above the frame and is finished with gloss. The rest is finished in a satin finish. It is about 1 ½ feet tall by 1 foot tall.

Thanks for looking.

At first I didn't realize that it WAS an eye! This is clever and beautiful, Kory! Your work is so polished and seamless. Always wonderful to see!

Wow..that is pretty incredible man. I love the tight joints and the contrast between the Wenge and Butternut really grabs my eye….I was guessing they were the large portions of the zebra. Thank you for sharing!
