27″x22″x14″

A friend brought me this Poplar log almost 2 years ago. It had a small crack running the length that I saw as an opportunity, so I put it in the sun for many months encouraging the crack to deepen. After carving it out, the crack opened almost completely, allowing light to pass through in places. I also kept a torn edge where the log was not cut completely through. You can see that in the left side. The black finish is a combo of burning and India Ink.  The interior gets it’s shine and color from many coats of shellac.
