Ce soir, ce sont les cuillères et fourchettes que je vous présente ! Sculpter intégralement à la main, je les fabrique principalement en noyer et merisier (comme ma vaisselle). J’ai travaillé longuement leurs formes afin de leurs donner la meilleure ergonomie. ===> Disponible dans ma boutique #etsy ___________________________________ #spooncarving #woodenspoon #spoonwood #spooncarver #etsyshop #handcarving #walnutspoon #woodworking #woodcarving #cherrywood #zerodechet #flomfrance #woodkitchen #ustensilesdecuisine https://www.instagram.com/p/B8b-r4TIGKB/?igshid=mjupzcydzl15

With spring officially over, and summer ramping up, I decided to dedicate my last post in this series to Appalachia’s de facto native plant poster child, a much-loved evergreen shrub in the heath family that has lent its name to countless towns, streets, mountains, streams, and festivals throughout the region. A true opportunist, mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) tolerates full sun to full shade and grows in dry to moist, acidic soil in a range of habitats: mountain forests, sheer cliffs, rocky outcrops, bog margins, and open meadows. Also known as calico bush and spoonwood, this hardy, broadleaf evergreen is also a fabulous contortionist, its stout, crooked trunk and spreading branches forming intricate, twisting patterns that finally resolve in a beautifully-mounded crown. Its deep-green, lanceolate leaves have a glossy, leathery appearance similar to those of Rhododendron maximum, with which it often associates, but are much smaller. Throughout May and June, mountain laurel produces stunning clusters of white to pink, bell-shaped flowers with spring-loaded stamens, which release pollen when tripped by bees. Mountain laurel grows in dense thickets and can reach the size of a small tree under the right conditions. Although all parts of the plant are poisonous, Native American tribes made an extract from the leaves to treat pain and rheumatism.
