For my Dziadek

Dziadek is my grandad...also known as 'Jacket' when i was little as i couldn't pronounce the polish version. These beautiful wood carvings made me think of him. I haven't seen him or my Babcia for way too long. Maybe 3 years, which makes me sad and i'm vowing to go and see them this christmas no matter what.

Dziadek is an amazing wood carver and i remember being about 7 or 8 years old sitting down in the basement of their home watching him carve. Me chatting about all sorts of stuff, drinking his special tea and eating sour plums that he got off the tree earlier that day. Grandads are great aren't they?


It will take him 6months of solid work to complete this table. Someone in Turkey has commisioned this piece to be used in their entertaining area.
Half finished wall piece...
little bit sexy? non?
