This big ladle is coming along just fine. It’s going to be used for shoveling water in a sweat lodge. Made from a big wallnut log with beautifully dense grain. Pretty tough to work on. Here’s the first part of the working process.
Avanzando con el cucharón
Este cucharón grande, hecho de un tronco fuerte de nogal, servirá en un temazcal. Este nogal en particular pide mucha fuerza y cuesta mucho separar las virutas. Ver su veta preciosa revelándose debajo de la gubia es un puro placer.
sentir es comprender 
wisdom comes through our fingertips 
measuring by touch 
effort is pleasure 
if carving be the food of love, carv on 
to be followed ….
