I finished this work in time to submit it to the 2022 AAW juried show, Bridging the Gap. The title refers to the ambrosia beetles that infected the silver maple wood.
The size is 8.5 H X 11 W X 10.75 D (inches). A piece like this takes a lot of patience. I started it over winter break, in December 2021. I finished it on 3/27/22.
There's a lot of fussing that went into making the details as good as I could - lots of undercuts, lots of challenges. The geometry of the shape makes it challenging as well. I'm happy with the result.
