Lignum Vigae

A friend of mine took this wonderful picture of this sculpture and these are his comments about this precious wood.

Lignum Vitae, if not the hardest, one of the hardest woods. The flower of this plant is Jamaica's national flower. I absolutely love the left eyebrow, which is formed by the natural color of the wood.

I had just arrived at my seat, 16F, on Air Jamaica, for an 8:30 AM departure, when my phone rang. It was the artist, wondering if I wanted to buy another piece. I will probably send him some tools.
