Dane Licina loves spending time in the forest. He combines his love of hiking with his love for carving. He finds storm fallen timber on his hikes and carve spoons, axing them out in the woods and carving later with special knives. He decorates them with a technique called kolrosing. Lines are cut in with the tip of a knife and filled in with finely ground coffee and sealed with linseed oil. His favourite choice of wood would be wild cherry.
“Here’s one for those who love colour more. I took this one back in December. I was hiking up to my cherry stash when the low sun appeared through the trees. Always so welcomed during the cold months in the woods”.
Honey dipper and coffee scoop combo set with one of his favorite designs, gajeta falkusa, traditional fishing boat used by fishermen from the town of Komiža on the Adriatic island of Vis
Kolrosing time. He draws all the designs freehand, then he cuts the lines with the tip of a knife, oil with food grade flaxseed (linseed) oil and fill in with finely ground coffee.
On a cold winter day on the mountain Dane will axe a bunch of spoons outside on the spot but carve them back home.
