This sculpture is 24" H x 16" W x 9" D, made from birch, ebony and mahogany. The "S" curve was made on a lathe. Repeat! It was made on a lathe!
"Keyboard Wizardry" was disqualified from the turning category at a recent show because the smart-ass judges decided it was mis-labeled, and couldn't possibly be segmented turning. It started out as two bottomless bowls, with 24 segments each, which I cut apart, and reassembled into the 48 piece 'S' - shape you see. The black keys are real ebony (I never use stains) and the base is appropriately a grand piano. Edited Jan. 24 '08: This work is now on display in the Sculpture Gallery at Rick Stein's Steak House in Dallas. When people ask how I bent the keyboard, he tells them, "The wood came from a rubber tree." Daily DeviationGiven 2007-11-29For the musically inclined among us, KEYBOARD WIZARDRY by ~woodizgood is technically and aesthetically good with wonderful movement and flow. And it's all made in wood!! (Suggested by *DailyDeviants and Featured by `Myana) |

And if it where me (which it couldn't possibl be, I have yet to master wood) I would have kicked the judges in the teeth, Chuck norris style D:<
Either way, it is stunning. such movement to it, it really captures what the pianist feels while playing. :'D

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
