    Default Goanna make some saw-dust!

    Hi folks! I'm as chuffed as can be right now 'coz I've just finished this commission in Monbulk Victoria. The goanna is 6m from head to tail tip and my largest piece ( by far!! ) to date. Messmate.

    Mark is that 6m or 1.6 or something?, scale looks a bit out thats all but 1.6 or 6 still looks like a fantastic job. If its 6m thats even more amazing

    Thought the goanna tree needed a little something else, so made these from redwood housing stumps and rusty wire. Reckon this guys front yard is pretty special now.

    Yes, Action! I trust those power lines are further away than they look in the pics. I'd love to see them on site, they look a real lift to the environs. What a difference art can make.

    That's really impressive Mark! Both imaginative and spectacular. I've never tackled large scale stuff before but you've inspired me to give it a try.

    It's just like small stuff but it's best not to think about it too much before you do it. Or, if you do, avoid thinking about the enormity and focus on the bits. I'm loving a chainsaw, it's like painting with a big brush! (up the mast of a yacht....)
