Radiolarian Based Projects
These pieces were inspired by a class of microscopic sea creatures called radiolarians. One of their defining characteristics is they build homes for themselves out of silica that have a repeating pattern that I find exquisitely beautiful. One of these designs won both the peoples choice and the juried competetion of the box show at the Northwest Fine Woodworking in the fall of 2008.
