Calabaza

The title for this piece reflects its transformation from an antique piece of olive wood into a pumpkin shape. The age and deteriorated state of the wood made it extremely fragile to work with, and Santiago had to proceed very carefully on the lathe in order to keep it intact. He always finds inspiration for the final form of a piece while turning the wood and discovering its hidden characteristics.
