Winner! Acoma Strong

By Michael Alguire, Machinist/woodturner in Datil, NM.

Winning Category

Acoma Strong is made from Bradford pear with the basket illusion technique applied, I chose this name because the acoma pattern is so prominent and seemed fitting. I had so much fun with this piece especially the photos, I know this shot doesn't show the form very good but I just feel in love with this shot, it gives it the real basket feel to it, it is 6.750"x6" and a total of 10,944 squares . Now I'm of to my next one :)
