Got a notice from the AAW about a juried contest to benifit the Lubeznik Center for the Arts. The challenge was to take two 6 x 6 x 3" blocks of the same wood. Leave one untouched / unfinished as a stand and an example of what the other was made from. The second block was then to be turned. The finished piece was to fit in a 6x6x3" volume without paint, dye or embellishments that would obstruct the view of the wood. The wood also had to be native to the area of the turner. The attached photo shows my entry. I call it "Perpetual". It is made from Box Elder. The stamin of the flower is hollowed to ~1/16" thick. The pedals were turned to just under .025" thick. The base / leaves are 1/8" thick. Your comments and critique are greatly welcomed.
TIA, Ken Vonk
