yew 3
beautiful west coast yew spoon
medium grain
perfect orange wood
smooth indented handle
oval scoop,
medium depth
made from the same branch that spoons 1 and 15 were.
in case you haven't read their story,
i've included it again below:
do you know of yew?
i didn't really,
but my dad today
told me about it.
he said,
as tradition goes yews are never cut.
what he meant was that
when plots of land are logged
the yew is left standing.
he said,
you know how sometimes you see
one tree,
left lonely
in the middle of logged land.
i said yes,
then he said,
those are often yew trees
so the wood for this spoon
was never logged,
never saw the inside of a store
and has never been sold before.
but rather,
came as a small scrap to him
from a friend.
a small branch he carved into
this beautiful spoon.
it's really special
in that way
and equally rare.
17 cm long
hand carved from beginning to end
