3D Entries:

Vetric Family of Love by Homer: Made with the DWC1824.

“An interesting project and years in making.  Wood is Olive - I found some small pieces to work with. The Tree of Life Photo was taken on the Island of Corsica about 20 years ago (by me). I have used the photo in a number of carvings but the combination of machine, time and particularly the type of wood seemed to come together. - The wording seems to disappear in the wood - until you start looking at it and then the whole and parts/individual areas seem to come together ... In any case the DWC 1824 allows me to implement dreams and thoughts. - Homer”
