Maple Wood, Wenge  28" by 32" by 32"     NFS...

Wind Blown grew from one of my little clay doodles in the early 90s. I got a maple log from the town workers that had been growing in front of the house. I roughed it out, working from my little model, and I really was not confident that it was any good. My plan was to carve most of the middle of the log away so it wouldn't check / crack. I then painted the outside and set it aside. Once I got back to it, I still was feeling a lot of resistance finishing the piece. Although in the end, I think it turned out to be one of my better sculptures. So, something to be learned there. :)
