The horn, carrots and pumpkin are cherry wood, with carrots and pumpkin painted. Both the eggplant and grapes are of purpleheart. The pear was turned from Bradford pear. Each kernel of the Indian corn is a separate piece of wood, bloodwood, purpleheart, yellowheart and ziricote. Many firsts for me in this project, basket illusion, carving, off-center turning and painting. The horn is constructed of 19 segmented rings, 36 segments/ring at the open end, 18 in the middle section and 9 at the tip. Both the eggplant and the pumpkin are 10 staves glued together before turning and carving. The only thing that's not turned is the (natural) peduncle to which the grapes are attached.
