A New Chair With the Most Legs Ever

I recently completed this miniature chair  out of Lake Michigan driftwood and sea shells collected in Florida with no fewer than eight legs.  Actually any number greater than four  would have been a new record for me.  I call it an 8-legged Chair for a Swamp Troll.

This is how it looks in late afternoon sunlight  on display (and for sale) at the Longbranch  Gallery, 203 Commerce Street, in historic Mineral Point, Wisconsin.  

UPDATE:  It's sold!
