Meet Laurus Nobilis No48. This Hand crafted wooden robot started its journey as a Bay Laurel Tree aka Laurus Nobilis. I literally rolled this burl end over in in the sand for about a quarter mile, then over the sea wall at 1am. I was seriously in over my head as I could barely lift this beast. The eyes are actual honey comb cast within Entropy Bio Resin set in front of mother of pearl. Within its abdomen is one wind swept Shasta Daisy. I was only able to harvest one Shasta Daisy this year as the other didn't have the same levels of beauty. The inlays are mother of pearl wrapped in brass and the head piece has accents of Australian Jarrah Burl. Laurus Nobilis has live edge hands and lower legs that really show the long journey it took to become my favorite wooden robot... not including the dandelion bot (Taraxacum Officinale No46). This wooden robot is truly one of a kind.
