Taht is a very good piece. i'm not brave enough to carve a hand, they are so complex and beatiful and you did great. But most of all, i really like the concept of your work, is it really metal or just looks like?

That's quite a piece of work. I see hints of what your pointing out in the palm. I'm still taken by the hand carving itself with what appears to be a sort of bionic look. Well they say art is in the eye of the beholder so we all see something different. The wood appears to be butternut perhaps?

boy, that rates really high on the way too cool chart! You say no faces, but I see faces. I see a very incredible shadowy side shot of a woman, almost like a chris angle moment.

WOW, very interesting and well done piece of work lots of imagination and very unique. I see a womans hand and not just because of the long thumb nail. I say womans hand because of it's smallness. Just my take.
