Far from traditional... what else can I say

I have decided to go full on cosmic design with this.

So excited to see more of this style in progression. Break out your favorite Bowie records! For whatever reason my brain has associated Ziggy Stardust with the Cosmic style. I'm not fighting it...

I'm eager to watch the video posted above; I'll have to wait until I'm home from the high desert, visiting family. The sage brush out here can really be incredible, but that's not quite on topic. Thanks for sharing.

Speaking from no knowledge/experience in the style, it does seem logical that you'd be leaning on that swelling and rolling mechanism of the wound as your bread and butter; then carve out the hollow to further define and push depth. I'm sure there's a mountain more than that, but I'm kind of thinking out loud.

Looks like I've got to carve some time to research further.

Shared a couple photo drops on Instagram ... severe storms rolled in. Which had me move trees to protection of the greenhouse. This was one of them...as I set it back out.

Two areas with scarification beginning. I know of three more areas I wish done.

Since the scarification I placed healed over. I had some fun going deeper into the heartwood.
