I have created these helix forms using special methods I developed on my own. As far as I know, nobody else has
made anything similar. The real trick is creating another helix form within the interior of the original solid helix.
I made a short video clip (and it is very amateur) showing how the inner helix fits inside the outer one. It practically
falls together. This is the walnut helix shown at the bottom of this page, and it measures about two feet long.
The helices (that's plural for helix) fit together like a nut and bolt.
The three photos above are details of "All Screwed Up".
The sculpture disassembles into three pairs of right-hand helices, and the left-hand ebonized supporting helix that is
attached to the base.
Walnut Helix
The Helix Shown In The Video.
This walnut helix was finished with teak oil and both parts fit together with a twisting motion. The smaller helix
was made from the wood inside the larger one. No glue or bending was necessary.
