This sculpture stand was ingeniously crafted by Art Thompson. It can be easily disassembled; the whole thing comes apart. The edges are of coco bolo and the panels are from a 2000 year old California redwood -- redwood burl from a tree that had naturally fallen and not timbered. Being able to disassemble the stand allowed Art to finish the coco bolo edges separate from the panels themselves. |
