Making this shape after being drawn to its geometry, a friend asked if I would make one for him. After completing that one I made these two ogethert. Then another friend casually said oh, you making Merkaba’s now? I had no idea what I was making. The thought of this gives me tingles or waves of emotion.
So with this being said, I am grateful for the opportunity to make the Merkaba and if you have a special request, I am happy to oblige.

​After years of wanting to pan for gold in the Black Hills I finally got my chance. A friend and local of the area took me out for a brief afternoon in his early model Willy’s jeep. We found nothing, and if it wasn’t for his constant complaint - “this would be more fun with a bottle of whiskey", I would not be telling this story.
​
We panned several places and the temperature dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes.  I said lets go back and I will go get that bottle of whisky and meet him at his house. We had a tall drink and then asked if we could tour his wife's no kill shelter (basically a zoo for misfit animals of all kinds). The next thing I remember I was not sure if what I was looking at was a deer or a dog. As we got a little closer I just plain fell in love. Little did I know at the time I had just found a 65 lb. gold nugget.
