Description:
This is an amazing hand turned wood kaleidoscope by artisan David Branch which was donated by KaleidoKites owner Colleen Ivie of Eureka Springs. The kaleidoscope is beautifully crafted and comes with a music box stand that plays and instrumental version of "Let It Be". The pieces are separate and the music box measures 3" high and 4" across ( has a glass lid that sits on top for easy access to the box mechanism for winding) and the glass offers a place for the kaleidoscope (which measures 8.5" long and 2.5" wide) to sit when not in use.
David (I started woodturning with my Dad in High School and am now retired and a fulltime wood turner. I spent my earning years as a business owner with my wife specializing commercial design and IT System Integration for the Army Virtual Training Centers Worldwide. I began making kaleidoscopes some 30 years ago after seeing Steven Gray demo at a woodturning EXPO in Provo, Utah. I joined the Brewster Society in 2018 to take classes (at the EXPO and in Jerome) and began to learn how to create a quality scope. I use dozens of variety of woods from exotic rosewoods like Cocobolo and African Blackwood to domestic figured Maple and Mesquite. https://brewstersociety.com/artist/david-branch-2
