Sculpture: Compass Points


"Here is a large (four foot diameter) version of Compass Points. It is made of marine plywood and cedar. I cut the parts out on a band saw and they are assembled with screws into little cedar connectors behind each joint. It is attached to a heavy wooden base staked into the ground, hidden within the brick and gravel.

It was situated in Billy Joel Park, right on the water in Cold Spring Harbor, NY, on route 25A just west of the village, across from the entrance to the Greenbelt trail.  Nearby is a large rock dedicated to Billy Joel. Above is another view of the setting."




"The inside of this sculpture is pretty cool and worth discovering.  Above is the inside of the model. I have also made a smaller wood version of this design and a large aluminum version."
