| “Pod” - Amboyna Burl Spoon – Indonesia - 11 x 4 x 4.5 -
Wood purchased from Dan Kvitka in the late 1990s - this is glorious
Amboyna burl with rich heart sap transition – the form is a hybrid of
many seed pods I’ve seen – divided containers with pockets - I didn’t
see it as I was working but after the fact I see a dancer on tip – toes
also – sometimes the subconscious is at work as well.
Photography by Jim Osborn This spoon was part of special Collectors of Wood Art Exhibition at the 2018 SOFA Show (Sculpture Objects Functional Art & Design) at the Navy Pier, Chicago, IL , November 1-4.
"Pod" was for sale at $4400 - SOLD.
