What has today been for me? There was no Kamakura
business.
Two things, really, coating and redundant pieces.
Take a look at the following.
What do I do with them? I just cannot let them go
as rubbish! Can you see a line drawn in the middle of each?
My intention was that once cut into halves each of them
might turn into a fork, albeit smaller.
What is bellow is the result of cutting them down in the middle.
They are more or less of the same length, but differ in
thickness. That, probably, was the reason I was drawn into
something odd.
Take a look at the following.
These are shorter forks, but I do not like them very much.
They appear OK, but quite a propotion of them have
different side profiles.
With earlier forks, you had a nice S shaped side profile
with each of them. With this current lot, however, you
do not have that property.
I am not too sure if I can describe it...
With some the S shape is flipped back, OK, you may
say flipped back Ses are still Ses. Are they?
The problem here is this. Whether regular, or flipped back,
I hold them, and somehow, they fit into my hand.
I am no longer sure what side profiles forks should
have in the first place.
All this may not matter, after all, what I have been
trying to do was to make the maximum use of the given material.
All these little pieces will be, eventually, given away
as gifts.
The following image carries a different story.
Top left is a template. One of the real ones is a
gift, Conchita and her new born baby girl, that is. The
other one is to be sold, as an oder came through.
These are baby feeders, very delicately made.
Bellow, I will show you a series of photos,
coating, that is.
With this image above, those on the right are my picker knife forks.
With this image above, they are all given to my wife, for her
to give them away as it pleases her.
Above, you can see my oak spatulas.
Most of those above are oak forks, for me to give away
as gifts.
In this very last image, you may have a glimpse into what
I was taking about re. side profile of forks.
Those of the left have been sanded, but, still fluffy,
but much better than those on the right, before being
sanded.
What do I do with those still fluffy things?
Well, I coat them as usual, and that makes their
surfaces hard enough, and then I hard sand the surfaces
That will remove those ruffled bits and pieces.
I still have some residual work to do, with the
current lot, fine, but it does not mean I will have
things useful to work on over the next few days.
I am at a loss, I really am!
