I made this sculpture based on the small maquette below to see if it would work. Then I cut large timbers of eastern red cedar freehand on a bandsaw. The pieces are attached with very long structural timber screws. The next step will be mounting it on a round concrete pad.

This is an assemblage of flat 1/4” luan plywood pieces. I shaped them with a scroll saw and finally, finally sanded them smooth after learning about using wood filler and sanding sealer on luan. It’s very grainy and splintery. Then I painted the pieces with Montana acrylic spray paint and glued them all together.
It received honorable mention in the Garrison Art Center’s smallWORKS 2 1/2D show which is opening this Saturday.
