Mechanical wooden flower that opens and closes

Octalypseis a mechanical wooden flower that opens and closes when the base is raised and lowered. The piece is made of many beautiful materials including Redheart, Grenadillo, Avocado, Purpleheart, Canary, and Lacewood. Very nice, indeed.

You can see more photographs of this mechanical flower piece on the Creative Outlaw web site.
