***This blog has moved to my new website. New posts will be made here*** Just got back from an amazing three days at Skedfest in Sweden. It was a brilliant experience, and hanging out with such an international group of spoon carvers was great. So much happened during the three days that for now I'm going to just put up my photos from the weekend. The People The Crafts

Perfect gifts for all your chicken-loving friends, these quirky characters are sure to be a big hit. The tall roosters (photos 2 and 3) have a crown-style comb, while the shorter hens (photos 4-7) have a smaller scalloped detail. Build your own flock by selecting your chickens. Each piece has been hand-turned on a lathe, the beaks turned separately and applied during final assembly. The fascination of working with wood is that the true colors and patterns are not fully revealed until the piece is complete. Each chicken has a unique personality with slightly varying color and grain according to the wood species. These photographs serve to indicate the range of possible finishes and details. If you would prefer a lighter or darker shade please indicate that on the order, but note that since we do not use exotic wood species it is not possible to create black chickens! The wood is either harvested from our own property in Duvall, Washington or within a 100-mile radius and provided by local arborists. By supporting other small businesses in this way, we help to build a community of like-minded individuals who care about each other and the environment. Each rooster is approx. 3.25 " x 1.25". Weight 1.4oz Each hen is approx. 2.5 ” x 1.5”. Weight 1.1oz Roosters and hens as hanging ornaments are also available from my shop. NOTE: These are not toys and may present a choking hazard. Keep away from young children.
This exquisite spinning top is a unique example of an iconic toy infused with modern style. Crafted entirely by hand of Cameroon ebony and Canadian maple, the warm and distinctive wood grains create a strong contrast that enhances the classic design. The raw parts that compose it are first assembled and then shaped on a lathe using traditional methods and finished with high-quality natural oil and wax to enhance and protect the prized woods. A steel point with the "mauby&wood" logo completes this one-of-a-kind collectible item.
