Lignum vitae... have I mentioned before that I love this stuff? Itās a pain to carve, but responds wonderfully to sanding and polishing, and it smells amaaaazing. I carved one of my personal use holders from LV and I still occasionally find myself smashing it up against my nose like a scratch-n-sniff sticker when Iām distracted šš

A Bouquet of Gratitude
I remember sitting at my grandma Bessieās balcony on one of her large mahogany rocking chairs as a 5-year-old, thumbing through Selecciones del Readerās Digest and parochial newsletters.... Somewhere within I remember reading the phrase Ramillete espiritual...a spiritual bouquet.
I thought about this phrase on my way back from my friend Anna's wedding reception at Terrace on the Park. I was waiting for a car to head back into Manhattan with Kelli, Zoe, Maury, and Rachel, and then I realized I had forgotten my party favor box upstairs. I raced into the elevator and then the banquet hall, got the box, saw the bridal bouquet on a service cart next to some dishes, and rescued it.
The flowers on the bouquet, to me, represent thoughts of gratitude, the greatest magic of all.
I went to Van and Kellyās studio and asked Van to take my picture in front of a mysterious lignum vitae plank we had found on Union Street in Red Hook, near Figleaf, one night. Lignum vitae is known as guayacĆ”n in Puerto Ricoāone of the densest woods in existenceāused to build galleons and for beams in Old San Juan houses.
The only thing left standing of my fatherās childhood home in Sabana Hoyos, Arecibo, is a lignum vitae columnā¦now hidden within the forest. The plank Van and I brought to the studio has 54 holes, which he filled with wooden āhostā sculptures.
The night the photo was taken I was wearing Koosā favorite jacket, and his wool pantsāwhich he made for himselfāAdidas Campus sneakers, Scooter portrait tee, and Blue necklace with Lemurian seeds from Ammaās bazaar.

Layout. Really happy I'm finally able to use the plane iron I made with my old instructor. Also happy about the lignum vitae sole on this plane. Can't wait to make some shavings!

One of today's finds. Far and away my favorite. An amazing lignum vitae mortar, c. 1700. 8" Tall x 7.5" Diameter. The outer surface is a bit dry, but it's still superb. #mortar #treen #lignumvitaetreen #lignumvitae #lignumvitaemortar @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdzM8V8O2Z-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Lignum vitae wax seal stamp? The brass end threads on and off. Found this in a box of brass hardware at the local architectural salvage store. Go figure. #lignumvitae #waxsealstamp @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLu86SXHLKL/?igshid=f4bulop5pxzf
