Okay I can’t get enough of making daiza. It is just amazing to me to start with a block of wood and then transform it into a flowing piece of furniture. I just love it. Well I wanted to show how my last daiza turned out, and show what else I have been working on.
Here it is after a light coat of SPAR Urethane. It really brings out the beautiful color of the Bolivian Rosewood.
A member of the Central Florida Bonsai Club asked if I could make a daiza for one of his rocks. I of course agreed because I wanted to practice. This was a little more difficult because the bottom of the rock was not flat.
Sometimes I loose site of the daiza and just enjoy the entire Suiseki (rock & daiza). Here is close up of the daiza. Notice how much carving I had to do inside of it to get the rock to sit flat. Too bad this portion is covered, it is rarely ever seen.
Here is the group of the daiza that I have made so far. They don’t take all that long to make, and are really enjoyable.
