Buffet and Bush-boy, something is clearly Orwellian-Gulliverian Wrong??
We feature hand carved treenware (small items made from trees) and wood sculpture, fashioned using traditional adzes and crooked knives, all from solid wood, all produced in Port Austin, Michigan.
Anyone can own a wood bowl from a bowl mill, each bowl the same or very similar to every other bowl, but only a few can possess a bowl carved one at a time into shapes suggested by the block of wood. Some lengths of wood become utilitarian trenchers. Some fruit or nut or salad bowls in shapes other than round. Some are round. Many are fish, otters, crouching bears—natural creatures indigenous to the North woods, from Huron County to Homer, Alaska. All bowls are from a single piece of wood, are food safe and intended for actual use Bowls are roughly carved from green wood, then allowed to slowly dry to prevent checks and casehardening.
When dry, they are finish carved, sanded, and if appropriate, surface carved in Formline tradition.
