Art In Motion // Rust Flo

Award-winning sculptor Ryan Kvande both conceptualizes and hand-makes each of these stunning pieces. He draws his designs onto Baltic Birch wood, then cuts them out with a scroll saw, rounds the edges with a router and finishes the final shaping with a belt sander. Each part must be meticulously measured using a laser-accurate drill press to help achieve the level of precision needed. The entire piece is then re-sanded by hand, and colored with dye instead of stain because it penetrates deeper into the wood and brings out the grain detail. Lastly, it is finished with Tung oil, which brings out the wood grain even more. Every sculpture is equipped instrument-grade, sealed stainless steel bearings to help achieve the longest spin times possible.

The Flo sculpture is Kvande’s most popular creation. Although this piece is stunning when still, it creates mesmerizing patterns as it spins on the wall. Just see if you can take your eyes off it when it's moving.
