“I am back with another Calm Carving episode and this time, I carve a bulbous pouring vessel from some incredible black walnut. The walnut was sustainably storm felled from a local park, a few kilometres from there I live and is the perfect canvas for honing in on these techniques. This particular pouring vessel is the first ‘final’ from a design and concept period that I have been working towards and I am really happy with the shape. I made a few playful prototypes before getting to this final and I plucked elements that I liked from them to condense into this piece. I am looking forward to making more of these and producing a batch of them for a project that I will tell you more about in the future. The pieces will be 80ml, perfect for their intended use, but it means that I will have to make sure that each one is to size each time.”
