richardzane:
heya Ben,
thanks!
eeeee :-\ ....my pots are a little pricey...but after all... its what pays the bills in this household! :D
usually only make a few a month, depending on the size, and they normally go straight to Santa Fe to Blue Rain Gallery.
dmc:
Very nice. Carving has always intrigued me, but I can't carve a toothpick. I do make a mean paper airplane though. Thanks for sharing. Fantastic work!
Olanigw (Pekane):
Rick,
Great carving! And major props for staying in touch with your heritage. Makes a man a little jealous.
JEB:
ARTIST, That about explains your work. Or as we marines say, OUTSTANDING.
richardzane:
Thanks again for the great comments!
In the past when our people would visit another's longhouse they would bring their own spoon.
when the expected pot of corn soup was taken off the fire and set in the circle, everyone would simply bring out their own spoons from which to eat from.
your own clan symbols or personal design made it recognizable. A nice big wide spoon meant you might get a bigger piece of meat to nibble from!
