Sun and moon ??
Hi guys, I am not too sure about this one .........
Not sure what I was thinking when turning this piece !
Is it woodturning or art or just crap ! and a waste of time ?
Anyhoo it,s rosewood "moon " not sure what the sphere was made from and a burl base
With a 6mm aluminum rod to hold everything together
I would like to know what others think , any criticism and advice welcome as alwaysCheers smiife

G'day smiife
Good to see you pushing the boundaries. I like the turning and texturing of the moon in particular. When I first looked at the piece last night I wasn't sure but looking again this morning I am quite liking. But art is very much a personal taste thing The piece is well turned and finished as usualYou can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. ~Oscar Wilde

Reminds me of the Turkish flag.
Nice work and some skill in offset turning

Keep at it Smiife, every journey starts with one small step. I have made several variations of a theme until the inspiration is satisfied. Sometimes it has led me up a blind alley.
Your piece look ok to me, but I am not sure about the burl base. Maybe a sphere to represent the earth under the moon????

Hi Tony, thanks for your thoughts mate, always appreciated.....
Hi Lyle, thank you for your comments, I think the Turkish flag has a star in there somewhere but that's a good thought for the next one ....
Oh yes Jim, now that's a good idea too!
But that burl is a closeup of the mountains..........Cheers smiife
