Wow, that was a long hiatus. Sorry. I have always been a pretty flighty artist, working in fits and spurts with long periods of inactivity. Last night I began what I hope is another long period of activity, picking up my “building” sculpture I began earlier in January (see also: 139 Pieces of Wood, 133 Holes).
Here’s my plan for the scultpure again:

All 133 pieces, glued up on waxed paper so they wouldn’t stick to my benchtop. I didn’t use any clamps or masking tape since the pieces were so small, just rubbed them together and squeezed by hand for a few seconds. Seems to have worked pretty well. Thanks, Titebond III
.

After about an hour, I had to see what the finished product might look like, so I stood the pieces up and taped them together.

… which led to a bunch of photographs. I really like how it looks in the darkness with a single light source. It should look cool in daytime too. The contrast between the woods will be even more apparent once the wood has a coat of finish on it.
