Title revised to include subject and shorten. Old title:
Internet Find -Most likely English /European -Austria/Czech ?
Drool time fellow puffers!
The big stand went for $1,500 and as a woodturner ,carver am not surprised.
Beautiful museum quality piece, wonder how many are languishing in the darkened storages around the world ?
That’s another post from this former State Museum Conservator.
The “Barley Twist” main vertical support is an exercise in patience, it is laid out from a long square billet , then the spiral is done using a skinny strong paper , triangular strip depending on how you want the end product to be.
But get this after you drill bore the strategic holes with a hand brace ,work begins on rasping it to shape, then hours of patient, sanding followed by a well deserved smoke break and beverage!
How many are going to build one from this rare photo,raise your paws?
