Hako Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hello, this is a snail of grenadill. The black and white wood is carved in one piece as a snail on a piece of barc. The snails house is of cowhorn, the dewdrops of moonstone. The great carver Kodo used moonstones inlaid in ivory. I really like this stone and will use two cabochons as eyes for a Gollum netsuke. Ko gave me some interesting woods, there will come some more. The mushroom is of boxwood with a snail. A little laquer behind the snail to show its "way" The first is an okimono the second a netsuke Greetings, Hako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natasha Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hello Hako! I especially like "Snail on a mushroom" and the idea to lacquer the snail's trace! All details look very well done! And where is himotoshi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your work is looking great. Cheers, Brad Blakely Hello Brad, these carvings are not made by me as you might think. They where made by Hako, a German carver. I only gave him the wood. I had a look at your website, very nice! Greetings, Ko Baas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
