The most complex piece I ever made, the famous Purkinje neuron drawn 100 years ago by Ramon y Cajal. It took me more than 30h of cutting with a scroll saw.

4 epoxy neuron creations. I know that not everybody likes epoxy, but I really like this shiny effect on those neurons, together with walnut wood. 3 of them are available.
