Silvanus started out as a spotted gum burl slab given to me by friends. It turned out to be a real bugger of a thing to carve as the "cancerous" bits were of course all end grain and very hard.

In the end to provide a counterpoint to the variation in colour and character of the wood,
I used a polymer finish on the background rebate to produce a gloss effect. Not something I'd normally do, but it worked well in this case.

Dimensions: 600mm w x 800h x 50d
