Maple,
bubinga, lacewood and 24 toothpicks
8"
diam. X 2.25" high
These
unique turned toothpicks are given to new members of the
Wood
Turning Center. They inspired yet another UFO form.
The title came from my research into magnetics and is a term
used to describe the axis of magnetic fields. The magnetic research
eventually
resulted in an artwork
with a magnetically levitated component.
