The process has involved me making 2 of the top pieces so the fun is not over yet, I will soon start to make a base for the second one.
When I first saw something similar it did look impossible which is what drew me to having a go, the one I saw was in a dark wood it was also photographed at an angle that made it difficult to see how it had been made
I chose a light wood thinking that this one was just an experiment and that I would use some dark wood at a later date.The base is made of another native wood of New Zealand and is turned to 2mm thick where the piercing is, the piercing is all new to me, I won't go into the difficulties I encountered but to say I am pleased with the results even if I was 3 days doing it, anything good takes time.
My statement of this having no use is not true as I do like to see it and brings me pleasure just knowing that I have done what at first looked impossible.
