Details

Twilight is simply alive and on fire. The lacewood sings and the grain glows deep under just about any light. In spite of Twilight's complex language of forms, Twiliight still manages to flow smoothly from one element to the next. Twilight's branches contain numerous playful interchanges and tension points. Various forms and shapes are introduced and re-introduced,, without seeming repetitive.

The entire totem was sanded to the highest grit, finished in a red mahogony stain and then wet sanded. A finish of hand buffed crystal coat gives the surface a "wet look".
