Description Spalt maple, maple, walnut, rose thorns

So I've clearly been into these figures with holes in their chests lately. Here I was interested in a rougher look than I often go for. The mold patterns in the maple complement the natural form of the rose thorns I think. The positioning of the crack though unintentional fits in with the theme.

I love your choice of wood. The black lines, especially on the left side remind me of veins.
Beautiful piece.

something draws me to this piece. I'm not sure what it is, and normally I'm not into this sort of thing, but I realy like this carving.

great job

Thanks. The piece is about 16 inches tall, most of the lines are the spalting in the wood, trails left by mold as it grew once the tree was dead. The big line is a crack.
