Thanks! My friend from high school didn't even remember drawing it... but for some reason it stayed with me.

'mooch'... also a cow that is constantly borrowing from his cow friends.

'Moof' ~ What a bucktoothed cow says.

A friend in high school doodled a bucktoothed cow with the word 'moof' next to it.

Carved in Mahogany with bone horns and found piano key teeth... with acrylic paint.

A few rustic spoons. The first three came from a brush pile at Craggy Gardens summit in NC (probably Rhododendron). The last one I picked up by the roadside in Key West... some sort of Mangrove, I believe.

'MarshWiggle' ~ Wooden spoon carved in black line spalted Beech wood. Spalting is usually caused by fungi 'invading' the wood as it begins to deteriorate. Black line spalt can be quite graphic.

My wife has a bad habit of leaving my wooden spoons on top of the hot stove. I make these things as good as I can... but they aren't fireproof.

'Neopolitan' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Ebony, Holly and Pink Ivory wood.. with inlaid BBs (the kind shot from an air rifle). It reminded me of the ice cream that has 3 flavors. The last image shows the awkward glue-up.

The moderators for Bluesky flagged this post as 'Sexually Suggestive'... and I am not sure what they are turned on by... seems a bit atypical route to arousal... but hey, whatever floats their boat. [tic]

'Nested Scoops' ~ Mahogany, Holly and Pink Ivory wood.

I saw an image of a small sculpture that I thought looked like a scoop and I ended up carving three scoops that nested well together.

Thanks much! On this piece... and most of other segmented pieces... I drill each piece and epoxy in a clipped ribbed nail as a sort of steel dowel rod.

'Olivewood, Ebony and Bloodwood Tripartite' ~ A favorite collector was the one that deemed these laminated pieces as a 'Tripartite' series.

For me.. it was a good way to use up small pieces of wood left over from other projects.
