I chose the haiku by Basho because I love the idea of clouds not getting in the way of the moon but rather giving respite to those gazing at the moon.
I painted the haiku on using sumi ink and brush. I did a test on the other half of the wood in case the ink bled and made the writing illegible. It stayed as did the stamps so that was a good result.
The weathered piece of wood came from under a tarp at my mom's house. I was looking specifically for weathered wood to carry the theme of wabi-sabi and this was perfect.
I cut a seat for the steel using small wood carving chisels.
Then cut the wood on a bandsaw and finished the base on the belt grinder so it would stand at a slight angle
