here's a few picture's of my latest cherry ladle
 |
all of these cherry spoons i have been showing were carved out of small logs cleared for a new house that would have otherwise been used for fire wood or just pushed in a pile and left to rot.
i really like the idea of making something useful out of what would have otherwise been considered useless.
Beautiful, Matthew. I love the facets. That's one of the best things about making spoons and other small objects--you can use pieces of wood that most people would throw out or burn. And that's such a nice piece of cherry you saved.
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew. I really enjoyed seeing the spoons in these two posts. Great knifework and lines. I love the loose, instictive nature of the decorative carved engraving on the handles.

I'll second David's comments, your decorative carving is a joy. I love the freedom of it but crisp and cleanly cut.
ReplyDeleteThanks all. i really appreciate the kind words.
ReplyDeletewell said matthew- there's enough waste being made these days- might as well make something beautiful instead. ~rico
