"Light as a feather, stiff as a board"

Here is another kinetic sculpture I just finished. Light as a feather, stiff as a board is another sculpture inspired from my latest trip to Puerto Rico. The base is a paulownia red cedar, mahogany glue up. The board is made from 7 pieces of red oak and mahogany with a maple fin. There is a patina copper hand hammered wave with driftwood behind it.

"5 in PR"
This is a sculpture I finished the other day inspired by some of the noserides I got @ Maria's while in PR. The base is a piece of paulownia. The hand hammered copper wave has a patina. The board is made from 7 strips of red oak and mahogany with a maple fin. I placed this one on a spring like the dashboard riders. The combination of the surfer on the spring and the flexible wave give this sculpture great kinetic movement.
