As promised on my initial post this is a visitor book stand for my local Arts and heritage centre, which you may have seen before it was on a program that Sarah Beanie did on community buildings/renovations. There were four? originally, and as far as I know this is the only one still going, we all work quite hard to keep it that way.
The second photograph is of the front of the building and shows the inspiration for the design of the piece.
The actual design came to me in a flash in about five minutes of being asked, it is laminated and is made from European oak and mahogany. Ian
