Took me about 6 prototypes to get to this
The technique is the same as if I turn one of my winged vessels
Just couldn't work it out for a while but I finally got there 7 inches dia
I used oxide as the color
You got a great effect with the texturing Terry, it looks like it comes straight from the bottom of the sea, the surface looks like it is soft and spongy. I bet it has 3 feet.

Terry, one of these days one of your creations is going to come to-life. One can almost visualize this one on the sea floor, in the shallows inside the reef.
I think this is one of your most interesting pieces. SO realistic you really want to touch it. Your coloring keeps getting better and better. Amazing piece.

Wow. Unless you glued on the legs that is a lot of wood hogging. ) I suspect you worked on the outside after you hollowed out the inside. Question - seeing as the only opening is the hole you hollowed out - how do you keep from going too thin on the walls? This piece is very different, I love the detailed texturing and the color. Marvelous job.
Your work is just beyond believe. Yes it does look like it just came out from the depths. Texturing is so real looking. I look at every post you put up. Keep posting
Hello Terry,
Surprisingly, after manta rays, sea stars ..
How do you preserve this coulour with iron oxides ?
The sandy aspect of the piece is due to the very fine texturing or adding stuf ?
A superb piece !
