Saw this one first on Facebook - loved it there, still love it! Great color, form and I really like how the texture varies and is not mechanical in layout! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

my comment: are you still sane after all that carving? I'm always amazed at pieces like that with so much hand-carved detail. I would have a hard time with the patience to complete that. Impressive and wonderful proportions.

Beautiful. Love everything about it. Can you explain the name, "Miles"?

Another nice form, Joe. I really like the deep blue color........the texturing /carving looks to be done with a conical stone or carbide burr...............with all the individual indentions, if each represented a "mile" traveled, it could almost represent an endless journey.......when I saw your title that is what came to my mind first, but your tribute to Miles Davis is understood.

Great looking hollow form. I like the texturing and the color just makes it jump out. Actually Miles Davis who is no longer with us was considered to be a "Jazz" musician and on the leading edge of some of the things he did with the trumpet...

Thanks for all the comments. Andrew, you are correct. Miles Davis was a jazz musician. I was thinking of "Kind of Blue" when I incorrectly typed Blues musician.
