It took a bit of doing, but I got most of the bark peeled away, leaving behind a cold, wet, slightly slippery cambium layer.
This was a bit of a knotty connection point between several larger limbs - one long rotten away - and a main part of the trunk.
The cut was diagonal through the log. If I do more of this, I'll need to learn to start the cuts straight, or figure out some guide system.
Eucalyptus, and paperbark branches, the former's ends mostly dry now, the latter's freshly dipped in Anchorseal, and needing now to dry for a day at least.

These pieces are created in sets of two. I’ve used half a dollar per piece. But it’s now an artwork. What is it worth to the viewer? Will they want both pieces so as to have both halves? If the pieces get purchased separately will the owners ever know of each other or wonder where the other half exists? It’s a ‘re-mixed’ and fragmented dollar so is it now rendered worthless anyhow? And would it be different if it was UK currency?
