Sculpted Spiral Throne

Dimensions: 60 cm x 50 cm x 120 cm high
Materials: One solid log of mapa burl

I had been seasoning this excellent section of mapa burl for about two years, deliberating what to make from it. When the moment finally came to cut into the wood I realized that a throne-not just a chair-was what beckoned to be released. This piece displays both spiraled carving and gently softened bits of natural burl which were left in strategic spots.
