Description

Sculpture named "One ring to rule them all"

in German: "Ein Ring sie alle zu knechten"

made from ash wood

size 45 x 42 x 22 cm

mounted in an iron ring (old wheel rim) with 85 cm diameter

surface finely grinded, polished, brushed,Β  oiled.

The rough piece was drying for about 10 years in my workshop. I had already removed the core in order to prevent cracking. Now apparently the time was ripe for it!

finished 6/18


have a look at other views of the piece and of my other sculptures under gecko-online.deviantart.com/ga…

excellent wood. hard, good grain, good to polish. it is difficult to dry, though. that was the reason to take out the core. If not, it would have split much more.

Cheers, bear!
