This is an art piece donated to the Habitat for Humanity birdhouse auction.
8" x 8" x 20".
Reclaimed Alder glue-ups, reclaimed oak column, black locust.
Turned, sculpted, laminated, and burned. About 100 hours of work here...
This is a stylized bird *nest evocative of tree roots, trunks, bird nest, and leaves (or are they feathers?)
You may notice influences from Jaques Vesery, and Clay Foster, not to mention burners like Molly Winton or Graeme Priddle.
