Sprung

Something different. 20"x12", Maple and Mahogany. Finished in Poly. I don't know if the photo shows it but it has a animal feel. Maybe a beaver or some type of fish. Coil thickness is about 3/8". Lots of movement. Comments always welcome.

Thanks for the comments. Underdog, Actually this was a construction along the lines of Malcolm Tibbitts. It started as a 14"x14"x1/2" maple bord. Turned between centers. I beaded one side from edge to center, then fliped it over and beaded the other side on the same locations. Parted off each ring. Each ring then was cut in half and re-assembled into this form

That's very interesting and after reading how you did makes it even more so. I see a rat in it at first glance, maybe it's because of the tail. Your talent and creativity never cease to amaze me.
