Excellently carved! There you got something to pass on to the next generation. Spoons used to be prized possessions. On farms, people were sharing one big bowl, but everyone had their own personalized spoon. A German phrase is "den Löffel abgeben" (lit.: to hand on the spoon), meaning to die. So you keep on carving and eating good soup, and don't pass it on too quickly.
A very lovely spoon indeed! I love the shallower bowl.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting very good. Soon your spoons will out number your typewriters!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good looking spoon. You've really been keeping yourself busy. I can't wait to see a custom carved typewriter.
