Fantastic! How did you attach the legs to the body?

WOW nice work!!!

-- Hrolfr

Awesome…I love your work…so very artistic and imaginative. I ditto Marcel – how did you attach the legs?
Thanks for sharing.

-- gbear, Carmichael, CA

The legs were attached with 2 dowel rods per leg. Glue and dowel rods work best to ensure a bond that will last.

Thanks for asking!

So many times we take wood and make something that looks wooden.

It takes a special talent to take the same wood and create a piece that captures the beauty of the wood and yet the wood takes a back seat. Your ability to reveal the ‘eye of the wood’ is something I have been trying to accomplish (albiet unsuccessfully) and continue to struggle to attain.

Lovely

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

one heck of a way to use a small amount of spectacular wood. flawless finish. like glass smooth.

-- keeping myself entertained

I just love your free form projects its really unique I like stuff that comes from your imagination and heart.
