Several years ago I attempted to do a demo at our club on basket illusions. It went OK but it's hard to demonstrate something that takes 20-50 hours in a 2 hour demo. I had several small pieces in various stages of the process and just tried to show a bit of each stage. While cleaning out some clutter recently I came across this piece that was one of those stages, just beaded with some pencil drawings on it to show how I draw the pattern. But I liked the wood, a piece of spalted poplar so I decided to finish it. As I was working on it I saw this Yin-Yang type design and stopped there. 8"
