Default carved duck bowl

Several years ago I saw a duck bowl at Saterglantan, Swedend's national folk craft school. It was simply glorious and had been made with incredible skill and left with very coarse facets from axe and adze. I do not know who the maker was but it has stuck in my mind. After spending the day turning round bowls carving one like this in the evening felt very free and unconstrained.



The original one was painted blue with a bright orange bill and I think I may give this one the same treatment just to make it feel really Swedish.

Well seeing Mr Pig and the weather as it is I am sorely tempted but we have to take the mother in law out for her Birthday lunch on Sunday so it probably isn't going to happen. Hope to get up to the Manchester meet though, Middlewood? Feb? I am a bit of a fair weather camper so if it tips it down I tend to stay home.
