Celtic Triple Spiral Newgrange Wood Carving, Yin Yang Symbol Balance & Movement, Irish Heritage Decor, Triskele Triskelion Wall Hanging

MEANING: This artistic interpretation of the Newgrange Spiral incorporates the Yin/Yang symbol of Balance & Movement. Here, the 3 Worlds (Heaven, Earth, & Living Creatures) & the dynamic interaction among these worlds are represented. THE CARVING: Our wood carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed & carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12-inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders, etc.), we use no lasers, CNC machines, or computer-operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands & eyes... We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 & then 220 grit finishes the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color. SIZE: One picture has the piece on a quilting board, lined up on the 1-inch marks. The quilting board, at its simplest, is a one-inch grid. So with the piece on the board, you look at the top & follow the line to the left & look at the right side at the widest point & follow the line to the bottom & you have height by width...but wait! It's not that easy! The way this board I have is laid out, if I lined it up on the zero points it would cover up the numbers, & on some pieces, you wouldn't be able to see them...so, I line it up on the 1-inch marks which means when you get the numbers, you have to subtract 1 inch... TA-DA! Measurements may vary slightly from piece to piece. Celtic Triple Spiral Newgrange Wood Carving, Yin Yang Symbol Balance & Movement, Irish Heritage Decor, Triskele Triskelion Wall Hanging
