Ultima Thule by Tapio Wirkkala

This week I finally get to mill my wooden sculpture! Getting the birch was quite a challenge itself (my initial sculpture design weighed 320kg…). Hopefully everything goes well so that I can finally start hacking on some actual design work.

A huge inspiration for my sculpture came from Tapio Wirkkalas “Ultima thule”. Apparently his inspiration came from the  finnish river rapids.

I’ll post some images my sculpture next week…assuming all goes well.:)
