Change your point of view. Change the outcome. This piece is a physical representation of the lead statement. A little back story. I had obtained a large ash burl from a local woodsman. Upon initial milling into slabs exquisite grain patterns were revealed. One piece suggested it needed to be a large serving platter. While turning on the woodlathe at 600rpm, it broke into 2 pieces. More firewood...
Two months later, with a different mindset, the pieces suggested something else.
