Culture & Context

A quaich is a traditional drinking cup given at wedding. I wanted to try and carve a large scale item suitable for casting. This is an ongoing project as I am finding my way with the design. I have begun carving Celtic knotwork to adorn the handles.

Hand carved using carving tools and wolf tools.
