Norm Sartorius - Diamondback 2016

“Diamondback" – Australian Snakewood – 9.5 x 5 x 3.25 - Snakewood from Surinam is so named because it resembles snakeskin – Snakewood from Australia grows such contorted snakelike forms that it came to be called snakewood. In this case there was a hairpin turn roughly where handle meets bowl – I carved thru the sapwood to produce a repetitious pattern on the handle – The handle arched across the bowl making some of the bowl carving pretty awkward - $2880 - SOLD.
