What, That's Wood?




Our family attended the Salt Lake Wood Carvers Show after enjoying breakfast together a few weeks ago. Some of my favorite pieces are the ones shown. I couldn't believe the hours spent designing and creating such artwork. What great talent was displayed. Some of the pieces didn't even look like they could be carved from wood. Others perfectly suited items just seemed to grow right out of the wood chosen for them, such as the hawk.

My personal choice vote went to the leaves and delicate dish displayed on the lacey doily. It appeared to be a collector's piece from an earlier era. Thank you skilled artisans for your labor of love, and sharing your wonderful talents with us.
