    Default Saved from the fire #2

    This is the second piece of She Oak that was saved from being burnt (under instruction). I took on board comments by powderpost and smiife for the final "enhancement". To me the resin infill resembled that of a crumbling rock face hence the random,falling irregular rocks (powderpost) coupled with small stubby feet (smiife) to complete the job.
    Another fun project in utilising what could be termed "firewood".......comments welcome. (first photo is saved from the fire #1)

    Now that is really nice. I think that is a lot better, the random "rock" formation is in concert with the repaired crack. The red inside is also a nice touch.

    I like your Straka Chuck in photo #3. Nice work Kerry, good to see more of your work as I've missed seeing it the last couple of years at Turnfest.
