Three Birds Tiling

[bergerud]

One of my Math Dept. members is retiring after teaching for 50 years. She has been teaching students who were becoming elementary school teachers. I was directed to come up with a retirement present. She has written books on Escher tilings and so, this is what I came up with. It is based on (copied from) Escher's Three Birds of 1948.

I used many advanced Designer features: trace, puff, conform, centerline, path offset, and keyhole.

It is not quite done. In a few days I will wet sand and polish the lacquer.

Extremely nice use of the Escher's Three Birds of 1948. I have several Escher books and always wondered if they could be converted into carvings. Great work, she should enjoy this for life.

That is really nice Dan, 50 yrs. of teaching the stories that she could tell ... She has my profound admiration for passing knowledge on... I know there are a few among us that wish we would of listened more.....
