Wow Tai, That turned out really cool.
Good way to ring in the new year.
Is that some of the Ironwood you find out on your property?

Beautiful work as always, Tai.

I love how you're able to shift directions and come up with a new line of work that is pretty different from what you've been doing before, yet still looks like your work. That's a trait that a number of good artists I know have.
