I think this is stellar. As I looked at it I thought ..how marvelous this would look with it's opposite near by...all black with the same design in reverse. Outstanding concept.

Thank you, Dale from Utah. I used to carve the powder at Alta and Snowbird.

Joe,
Thanks for being such a loyal fan.

Thank you Michelle,
I have a larger one in Ziricote in process. Six inch wide ebony is hard to find.

Thanks for looking, Ronald. I really like the color of bleached Sugar Maple.

A friend who paints landscapes told me this piece reminded her of a Mondrian painting.
