This is the third spoon that I’ve carved. It was done a few years ago, but thought I would share it with all! It was a spontaneous carving as when I first sat down with the small apple branch and knife I had no idea what I was going to carve. I did have ‘spoon’ in mind though. As I carved the bulk of the wood away, the form slowly began to emerge as well as the color patterns. I let the wood and color dictate to a major degree the direction in which I carved. Wish I could claim to have carved this with the coloration in mind which aids in the beauty of the piece, but alas, it just happened that way. After about 4 hours this was what it turned out to be. Sort of a Picasso-est cubist woman form, or possibly a latter day spoon based on the Ashanti fertility fetish. It’s certainly one of my personal favorite of all that I’ve ever done!
