Hi all,
I just want to share with you the pleasure I have had today meeting
Carlos Aldorino, an artist from Argentina who is soon marrying here in
Spain and will move to live quite close to me. He makes a living entirely
after his Intarsia work producing beautiful objects in his workshop
and he plans to continue doing the same here in Spain. I really wish him
lots of good luck and offer him all my support.
Carlos uses strikingly beautiful and exotic woods from South America, mostly
from Argentina but also from other countries like Bolivia, Peru and Brazil.
In the examples I am showing below some of the woods are so strange and
exotic that I have never seen anything not even similar. The sides of the
box are made with carob, the sun of the box with Peruvian bark (also known
as cinchona). This box also contains woods whose names I have been
unable to find in english/spanish dictionaries: ¨loro blanco¨, ¨laurel¨,
¨guatambú¨, ¨vilaró¨, ¨lapacho¨, ¨cochucho¨ and others.
Observe the precision of the joints in all pieces.
Carlos and me plan to cooperate in whatever is possible. Some time
soon Carlos will have his own web site integrated in mine showing all
his work and offering it for sale. Carlos has promised me a gift of amazing
value: some of the most exotic and rare south american hardwoods
in different colors so that I can make a unique and really valuable model
of my Eiffel tower scroll saw pattern. . I just can´t wait for that...
Enjoy this tiny sample of his work:
