Carving the sculptural table "Marbled Murrelets". David Groth documentary, chapter 4 of 9.

In this video segment I will be carving two myrtlewood root sections and joining them into one sculptural table. The primary concern is that the two pieces of wood are shapes that can not only be joined but compliment each other sculpturally. This video is the fourth of 9 chapters in my 81 minute documentary titled "The creation of abstract form in wood: Carving sculptural tables." More information can be found on my website www.davidgroth.com.

Note: Sometimes 'rot' in the wood adds more color. For example, Cherry that has been laying in the elements for a year or so has beautiful reddish and brown tones in the wood.
