Editor’s notes

A hand-carved wooden grain scoop, carved from a single block of wood and featuring a deep cylindrical bowl with an open rectangular handle. Designed for everyday use, this utilitarian object would have traditionally been used for scooping flour, grain, or other dry goods in a rural kitchen or bakery setting. The simple, architectural form emphasizes function and craftsmanship, while the worn surface and subtle tool marks speak to its history of use. Today, it stands equally well as a sculptural object or decorative accent, embodying the quiet beauty of vernacular folk design.
