Wood 19 May 2010The wonderful season finale to Larry David's Curb your Enthusiasm asked "Do you respect wood?". And I have to say: yes, yes I do. On our teak sideboard you will find a Danish rooster – a device for offering pipe cleaners to your guests. (Strangely we don't have much call for pipe cleaning, so he displays a plumage of wooden chopsticks instead.) Next to him is our Pinocchio puppet – the work of Argentinian artist Juan Pablo Cambariere – with his cone nose and one extra long arm. |

And this rocking new family is from Mirek Trejtnar – who runs the Puppets in Prague workshop where we learnt to respect not only wood, but chisels. In fact, I love wood so much that I have just designed a little wooden toy. But I need to find myself a lovely German Opa* to do some wood turning for me. Does anyone know someone with a lathe who like to adopt me? *It's not the age but the spirit that counts. |
