This piece is composed of art 101 shapes: cylinder, sphere and cone. The teardrop shape is very close to the cone shape. The main part or the piece, the cylinder was made from Teak staves, glued up about 3⁄4” thick then turned to about 1⁄8” thick. The teardrop was made from Acrylic. I had a leftover sculpture blank from about 30 years ago when I made Acrylic sculptures.
The coloring on the teardrop was added to a glue seam, this is a combination of dye and metallic powder. The base is a hollow sphere with a puck light inside, made from Walnut. The piece's finish size is 5" x 15" and the wood was sealed with satin lacquer.

I looked at the first pic and thought that would be cool if it had a light in it.


Yep, pretty cool!

Thank you for your kind words and for following along. If folks are interested I'm starting a new project / hollow form with carving and intarsis  and coloring. I can post as I go along, I'll also be using the new steady rest I built for the first time.
