Aumonier in Catalan: Commissioned piece.

The original poem by Minnie Aumonier reads:

“Il y a toujours de la musique

Parmi les arbres, dans le jardin.

Mais nos coeurs doivent etre tres silencieux

Pour l’ententre.”

The right piece of timber took some looking for! But then, I just love looking around woodmills. Once I knew that the Catalan word for coeur(s) was COR, I found my way to this piece of Kentish Oak with a natural dark grain line around its core (pun intended) focus of the emerging branch: I just had to mirror the grain with the letter C to create the heart of the piece (pun intended).

Stained highlights. Sealed with Osmowax and beeswax.
