Bigger and Better Spellicans (or maybe Spillikins)


I have made a lot of spellicans in the last several of months.  As you might be able to tell from these photos, I have started making them larger.  Most of these are pine.  I guess I got tired of using only scraps and being constrained by the size and shape of the leftover wood.  So I cut and carved these from non-leftover pine.  These are some of my favorites.  I made one tiki head and I liked it so much that I had to make some more.  The others are just plain fun.  Why the spoon, you may ask?  Well, I got some wood from a friend - Arizona Cypress.  I carved the spoon out of it, but the wood is far too aromatic to put in your mouth.  So it is now a toy.
