A little Montana, California, and whatever is next.: March 2010
http://alittlemontana.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A little Montana, California, and whatever is next. Some thoughts on life in the petroleum world. Sunday, March 28, 2010. A moose and her calf wandered into town last Tuesday. They were near the filling station, maybe looking for some gas or they wanted to play power ball, I'm not sure. But it did make the front page of the paper. http:/ mtstandard.com/image 1236bd80-36f3-11df-834d-001cc4c002e0.html.

Eric Goodson Woodcarving Notes: Bowls
http://ericgoodson.blogspot.com/p/gallery.html
A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. What distinguishes a bowl from a cup? Is it about proportions, with bowls wider than they are high? Or is it about usage, where one sips from cups but spoons from bowls? Yet in the sixteenth century most people drank from what we could consider bowls. Regardless, here are both cups (kuksas) and bowls, listed from most recent to oldest. Spalted Birch "Dave Fisher" bowl (Nov 2014). Blue under red milk paint, flax and beeswax finish. Here is the ill-fa...

Eric Goodson Woodcarving Notes: Order of operations?
http://ericgoodson.blogspot.com/2014/01/order-of-operations.html
A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. Thursday, January 30, 2014. So is there a correct "order of operations" for spoon making? After studying a few videos I generally don't think there is just one sequence of steps to follow. But there are probably some good rules to keep in mind. For example, Peter Follansbee. Carder and Ion Constantin. On the other hand, both seem focus on hollowing the bowl last. Don't jump to chamfer too quickly. I love Jarrod StoneDahl's. I like hollowing and even...

Eric Goodson Woodcarving Notes: Notes on eating spoon design
http://ericgoodson.blogspot.com/2015/02/hand-and-eye-proportions.html
A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. Sunday, February 8, 2015. Notes on eating spoon design. I have been studying eating spoon design these days, trying to figure out what feels right to me. Here are some of my notes:. How much should the bowl rise in relation to the handle? About 15 degrees, so it comes up to meet the mouth. How long should the bowl be in relation to its width? About 1.6 to 1. How long should the spoon be in relation to the length of the bowl? How about handle shape?

A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Why it took me years, I will never know. Finally finished a carved bowl, a la Dave Fisher, several years after instruction from him. It took me that long to build one of Dave's bowl horse. S and a carving bench to really secure the work. Here is the bench:. Once the log was cleaned up and the form laid out with dividers and string, I set about excavating. Thanks for everything, Dave! November 6, 2014 at 4:43 AM. View my ...

Eric Goodson Woodcarving Notes: Toasting spoons
http://ericgoodson.blogspot.com/2014/12/toasting-spoons.html
A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. Wednesday, December 3, 2014. I hope Don Nalezyty does not mind, but here is his post on "toasting" spoons to achieve a darker appearance and maybe a harder surface:. The toasting process is quite simple. The basic idea is to kiln dry the spoon after it's completed, but not oiled and bring the temparature up just high enough to start to darken the wood a little bit. In the morning, the oil is dry to the touch and the spoons are generally a darker ric...

Eric Goodson Woodcarving Notes: Copycats and craft
http://ericgoodson.blogspot.com/2014/02/copycats-and-craft.html
A novice's notebook on greenwood carving and treenware. Thursday, February 20, 2014. I came across a provocative article. On the American Craft Council's website recently by Harriete Estel Berman. Here are a few choice bits:. I respect her frustration. Must be hard to see your novel idea mass produced by foreign industrialists for their profit. But I don't agree with her. Facebook group. The whole "makers" movement in general is beholden to the connectivity of the internet, the sharing of ideas and h...
