Red Oak Moebius
About 24 inches
I usually don't carve Oak because it is a bit stringy and has a predilection to check but it is soooo beautiful......The wave in the middle does allow some wood movement to minimize checks (not unlike putting a loop in copper tubing to prevent it from cracking) as well as of course design considerations.
