This spoon is made from a piece of wood I got in Humoldt while visiting my sister at the end of this past winter. I think it is apple wood. When I shaped the blank with a band saw I left this big knob on the back of the bowl that I normally would have carved off. This time I considered what might be done with it...
Around the time I was considering this piece of wood I met someone who had a connection to hawks. Carly looks birdlike to me and has a keen way of being in life. So I decided I would try to carve a hawk's head out of that knob, and I would give this spoon to my new friend Carly.
