Please spread the word! I donated this piece, “We are neurons #1, blue bird”, for a fundraiser by the @Child_Neurology foundation. The auction is online starting right now. I added the link in comments. #Fundraising #science #art

Side quest. It took me a good 6h of non stop cutting and carving to make this Padauk Wood Neuron. It will be on my website for sale soon. #neurobiology #woodworking

I used a new approach to make the meditation neuron (original design by @theNeuronFamily). It is now made from one block instead of having the hands and legs glued on to the body. The result is way cleaner and has a better finish. Sometimes it’s when you just do things that you can figure out how to make them better. As @Nike would say, you really got to “just do it”… This piece is a foot tall and was made with cherry wood, naturally orange.
