116 - Jester in Yellowheart

Here is a new one that I have only done a few of... This picture does not show the nice sweeping overall shape of the spoon. I think I need to build a light box this week.

The jester name was inspired from the first carving I did of this general shape. It reminded me of a jester's hat and the name stuck.

This spoon is carved in Yellowheart from Brazil. It is pretty obvious where the name comes from and the yellow color is striking. Yellowheart is very hard and strong. It required that I break out the mallet and larger tools. The results are always the same - beautiful.
