11 November 2018 marked the 100 year anniversary of the Armistice which ended the Great War (World War 1).
Nick made this emotionally powerful tribute entirely from wood.
Nick's fascination with spiral forms started in 2016 since when he has developed his own unique approach to the subject.
These enigmatic pieces were created from solid blocks of wood; some have been left natural and others coloured or textured for effect.
In late 2017 and through 2018 Nick (as Professor Bergenstrauser - Victorian/Edwardian Romantic and Steampunk Engineer) has explored an 'industrial' theme in his turning and combined it with influences from the popular Steampunk genre.
The underlying concept was to use wooden items to create and illustrate a traditional 'Boys Own' adventure story similar to Terry Gilliam's Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
