I have put the finishing touches on my Opal masterpiece. It is more exciting and adventurous than a lump of black harlequin opal that sells for 6 figures. My philosophy in art is that the last 1% of effort is the most important part.
I also made a pipe smoking a pipe that needs its bowl and stem drilled.
It is made of a unique branch of Sequoia (redwood). The top of the guy's head hides an invisible hinge and closes on the bowl.
My room is finished except for some carpet tape and the hallway. Its finishing touches week.
3 rooms to go including a bathroom make over.

My ebay offering still sits there awaiting photos.
