nice idea indeed.
Now make the "water" a lighter shade of wood
and add a bucket handle of some bendable cane.
wonder what will happen if you take care to turn a piece with
the fibers going along the main axis and then try to slightly bend the
spinarette
so as to make an illusion of a splash going three ways at once
(three spinarettes connected at the bottom, or fatsened really close
by and bending outward in different directions)
