Wood Carving Spiral

Macro Mondays 24/10/17 theme Spiral

For this theme i decided to stay away from premade spirals and create my own.I had the idea for creating the spiral from carving wood with a sculpting chisel after hanging a new door and chiseling out the frame for the hinges.But trying to get a long and small enough spiral proved a little more difficult as it kept on breaking off.So I heated the wood in a microwave which dried it making the spiral stronger.The whole scene is about 1 inches and the spiral was about 1/2 inches.For lighting I used two speedlites,one on the camera with the bounce card pointing at the spiral and the other pointed at the side of the spiral and the background.
