I started doing this floating top design leg stand about 2 months ago. There is something about this look I really like. I think with the top floating like that it looks as if the stand is offering up the pipes and saying “check these beauties out”.

This was the first hanging piece commission I have received. The client, David M. from Tobacco Days was very helpful in that he knew what he had in mind and was able to communicate his ideas clearly. I started drawing and refining the design about a month ago and once David and I, (actually I just went down and started cutting) the construction began. The result is as much a wall sculpture as stand.That is exactly what we envisioned. I don’t know how David was able to hang it in less than 2 hours. It took me an afternoon to get it on the wall just right. This was such an enjoyable project. First it was a new design and second I got to share the process with someone that was as enthusiastic about the piece as I was. We are definitely going to do this again. And I am presently working on another wall piece that I will make available soon.
