It is time to say good bye to folks in the Garden. However before we'll leave them alone I would like to introduce you son of Mrs. Flower Pitcher, Mr. B.A. Stard. There has been strong rumour for a long time that his father is Mr. M.U. Stard himself but no one really knows except Mrs. Pitcher perhaps.
Mr. B.A. Stard's career as a punch ladle will hopefully be succesful. At least he is made from best materials for that job. His head is from masur birch, body is from juniper and leaf forming the ladle is birch burl. Much turning, little carving and texturing finished with some dye, Rustin's Plastic Coating and some acrylics. His weight and capacity are unknown so far but he is 18" high.
