This is practically monochromatic for you. I’m not a fan of green. But GD! That is by far the nicest piece you have made in a while IMO. There’s no denying that you make maple burl trip the light fantastic-we’ve all seen that time and time again. But I think it was a combo of the chatoyancy in the wood and the thinness of the resin at the top letting more color shine through the walls that just hit that perfect delicate balance of light and dark. This one shimmered like it got a blast of fairy dust-even before you lit it from the inside. I rarely want to actually pay money to buy something someone else crafted, simply because I glean inspiration from other’s work and come of my shop with my twist, lit with petrol. Then I give or trade those away to someone that I know will be able to visit and see that piece again. (Glad most people tend to keep my pieces.) But the simple understated cleanness of this piece (witness line or not, you perfectionist) really does “DO IT” for me. Oh yeah. I would pay a few hundred USD for that. And I’d keep it for myself on the windowsill above my less messy workbench to ponder in the dim PNW winter light. Come to think of it: that green would be perfect for resin to age in. The yellowing of UV breakdown of plastics would be well hidden in green swirls. I envy Opie H or whoever ends up this one. 💚
