Big Red - hollow form turned from Bradford Pear.
21" tall with 10" diameter
Why did I name it Big Red?
This photo shows the lighthouse at Holland State Park (Michigan) known as Big Red.
Our youngest nephew and his new bride had some of their wedding photos taken (by special arrangement) at the base of this well-known and much-loved landmark. And both my wife and I visited Big Red more than a few times during our Michigan youth.
You can read about the lighthouse's history, see lots more photos, and enjoy a well-made video of its legacy HERE.
Surface techniques include pyrography, carving, plus interior and exterior painting
Big Red, the woodturning, also features a weighted base in case its new owner chooses to use it for some sort of tall floral arrangement.
