The book of water

Height: 15"
Diameter: 13"

The design for this piece was inspired by elemental erosion found in nature. Soft edges, smooth surfaces that look as though they were worn down through decades of exposure to a body of water.

This is the first piece in a sculptural series drawing inspiration from Musashi Miyamoto's the book of five rings. Just like each book pertains to a different element of nature, so does each sculpture.

This sculptural piece of furniture, hand carved from a solid Ash log and hand sanded. Stained by using an organic solution consisting of steel wool and vinegar then finished with an oil product.
