답글삭제Great job on the spoon! I think the kolrosing is a very nice extra touch. :)

답글삭제For some reason, I derive a sort of spiritual refreshment when I see woodworking--either for function or art, and I consider even the functional pieces to be art. I work with people who are blind and visually impaired and one of the classes we offer is woodshop, which is always a favorite of someone who didn't think they could work with the tools and accomplish something they end up being very proud of. I especially love the simple, rustic charm of your carved pieces.
