Serpent Series II
Serpent Series II
This series of dragon kuksas are riffing off of old serpent forms I’ve seen in many old cultures, but especially norse and Scandinavia. Seen on roof gables, door hinges, locks, and drinking vessels. A powerful form, and something I like to dive into every so often. What makes each piece unique is that I like to intentionally improvise and push my skills so they evolve as I make them.
The vertical fluted outer bull adds another texture not just to the touch, but it also picks up and moves light.
Carved of a beautifully figured black cherry, a wood I love for its two tone buttery sapwood and warm fiery heartwood. The cup just looks warm before you even pour coffee into it.
Finished with cold pressed 100% food grade pure linseed oil
