From the Artist, Norm Sartorius:
"Laminated letter openers have been a mainstay throughout my career. Each laminated letter opener has a combination of two woods for the handle and shaft with a thin accent of veneer between the two. Tiger Myrtle comes from Australia and Frog Hair Mesquite from Texas. Frog hair suggest very tiny curls in this figured wood."
Artist Bio:
A creator of wooden spoons for 30 years, Norm Sartorius has explored the common wooden spoon and other utilitarian objects as a context for sculpture. Using rare and unusual woods of exceptional beauty, he shapes each piece to stand as a unique artistic statement of color, form, and texture. Often referred to as "Ceremonial Objects", Sartorius' spoons vary in size and shape, each being solely created by the artist.
