A few months ago I saw the work of a wood sculptor, Mark Jones, at the Howick village market. I loved it!!! There was a mirror he had that I came back to purchase but he didn't have it any longer so he showed me a piece of wood he'd had in his shop for a few years that he had yet to carve. I agreed to purchase it as a finished product to take back to Canada with us.
In thinking of a special thank you gift for friends of ours who helped us with the process of purchasing our home here, I decided to see if Mark had anything that might suit. He had three roughly hewn out bowls in process. I chose two for a good price. One for us and one for a gift.
Tonight Mark delivered all of my commissions and I'm in love! The craftsmanship is outstanding and the pieces are gorgeous!! I can't wait to display them in our new home in Canada.
