Cherry bowl

for "The Ugly" (my friend)...



I enjoy every day more and more to work with wood. Perhaps this is due to the results that I enjoy and satisfy me.
I present you a work which, can say I'm satisfied, and that drives me to continue this activity.
This is the story of Cherry Bowl:

Many thanks to masters David Fisher and Jon Mac for the inspiration offered by their work!

     I received this picture from the new owner of the bowl, from Germany. I never thought it can be used as a candle holder: 

Old spoon & bowl carving tools

Another member of  carving tools family was found!!

It is a old adze, that was used from romanian craftsmen especialy for making spoons and dough bowls.

                                                                      two generations...


                                          
                                                                 maybe one of their products...


Swedish-style experiment

Trying to find out what means to carve a spoon inspired from the form of swedish traditional spoons.

Very dry applewood.

I still need a little adjustment of the dimensions and proportions and, of course:) ... a lot of practice!
