How cool is that, beautiful piece! I think you made the right decision to not make it too buzy, the wood is great.

agreed... your shapes are strong enough to work with the patterns in the wood, no need for decorations, fantastic piece!

It's heeeer!
The fork lift was at the saw mill
where Jeff picked it up for me.
That's Mat in the PU truck.
He trucked it from Tampa to me
in Ft. Lauderdale.
