A couple of weeks back while at the local wood carvers meeting, A friend ask if I could possibly carve her a spoon…..{this is the funny part}.... before I get famous. Well I did get a bit of a laugh out of it.
So one of the only things I know about her is she likes to oil paint, and wow is she ever good at her skill.
She offered to buy it but I thought hey why not trade work? She agreed and that day I started on the design and lay out.
I carved this spoon design before but added the pallet and brush.
It is carved from Jacaranda, my friend Evey gave me. It is a very tight grain and very hard wood to carve but holds detail well.
This spoon is not meant to be used in food prep.
Thanks for the view….and keep working your wood LJ’s
