From the Artist, Norm Sartorius:
"This spoon evolved around the white sapwood check mark that was the outer surface of the small limb I had - I did not carve that bird like form - it was there - when we all first started to draw many of us used a V form a bit like this shape to represent a bird - a group of such marks made a flock of birds - this wood is very dense and has a pleasant sweet smell when it's cut - it's hard to imagine any worm or insect boring through this wood but there are two filled worm holes in the spoon bowl."
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.
