My brother made this wooden sculpture for me. It stands about 4-1/2 feet tall and consists of various sizes of wooden balls shaped with a chainsaw. They're then attached to each other with metal rods. A very cool one-of-a-kind piece!

It's doing very well. I didn't treat it with anything because I prefer thr natural wood look. I imagine at some time it will turn more gray, but right now it still looks like the picture.

Will do Marilyn. It has a few cracks in the balls. My husband went out and turned it because he thought one of the balls looked like a giant smiley face looking in the window all the time! Rolling on the floor laughing One of the cracks looked like a big smile. Rolling on the floor laughing
