Another Rosenthal piece

I think I have posted some photos of NY sculpturer Randall Rosenthal's work here before. He just sent me a photo of his latest piece, titled "Lunch Money" as a tongue-in-cheek comment on the state of the US dollar I think.

Can you believe everything in this photo ( except the shadow) is carved from one solid block of wood, and then hand painted?

If you are interested in this kind of stuff, check out his website:
Wood Sculptures by New York Sculptor Randall Rosenthal

Incredible stuff. I do so enjoy having talented friends, although it does tend to make me feel rather useless in my own feeble woodworking.

Could also be called "drug Money"... Cool pic.

Absolutely amazing work and talent. I see he does architectural work as well - good resource for those "special" clients. Thanks for sharing.

So if I get the little red X in a box instead of the photo what do I need to do to see it?

After I posted the above message the picture appeared! Huh.

This is one he did for us:

(panga is the basic hull design for the power boat we chose after I agonized over choices for about a year)

Again, all one block of wood.

To see the really good stuff, you should check out his web site.

I imagine his "Legal Pad" series is very popular. I got a kick out of Van Gogh, check out the wood graining running through the piece . . .

This railing's not too shabby either -

TEshannon-

It is obviously a "Loose nut before the keyboard" error.
