Leaning Locust Woodcraft

A walnut sapling occupying a few recent vases--two walnut and one sycamore. And then a spalted-maple offset spoon for good measure.

All of these items and many more will be going with me to the Talbot Street Art Fair in Indianapolis this Saturday and Sunday.

(The sapling was growing in the yard and had to be removed. There are a several dozen similar ones in the meadowy spaces that are sure to have a long, full life.)

We're a little bit and wet but all ready to go at Bronson Park in Kalamazoo for the KIA Arts Fair. Thanks to Mom for the last-minute rug purchase and to the KIA volunteers for bringing in some sand so our visitors can keep their feet dry while browsing.

The rain has moved on (at least for now), so come on down if you're looking for something to do this evening until 8 or tomorrow from 9 to 5.

It's a beautiful day in Louisville, and several thousand people in the Cherokee Triangle area seem to agree.

I added several Bradford pear eating spoons to my inventory at Artists' Own Gallery in Lafayette and wanted to see which locally made bowl partnered best with this style.

The texture of Bradford pear wood is as smooth as any wood I've used, so it's great for eating spoons. The ones I dropped off today vary in size, but most are roughly the size of a table spoon.

(I didn't leave them all over the place like this. If you come in looking for one and don't see one on display, ask the artist on duty to check my tub in the office.)
