“Wavetrain” I started making this piece when I was 17 and completed it when my daughter was 17 ! Not all my sculptures take that long ! I transported the former railway sleeper, balanced on the handlebars and saddle of my bicycle, and cautiously walked 4miles home ! The piece stands a little over 6 feet and is made from Pitch Pine, Briwax and Stainless Steel. © chriswoodartist all rights reserved 2012
