Ernie Markle: Smooth Elephant's Foot with Bamboo
Product Number: 002-490-0078
Ernie Markle makes a lot of Danish classics. They're always imbued with his own muscular, forward-thrust style, but their heritage in the Danish school is undeniable. What makes this Elephant's Foot so charming is that it isn't one of those classics — it's a sculptural shape, designed to show off the briar block's grain in perfect harmony with its shaping. And at that, Ernie has excelled, with the sea of birdseye framed by a fluid panel of cross-grain across the flanks, the stummel's dark stain highlighted by pale bamboo as shank extension. The bamboo itself is a unique piece, gracefully curved and featuring six knuckles in perfect rhythm with the motion of the piece as a whole. The result is stunning work from a carver who often makes an impression with understatement, the sheer precision of each decision cohering into a beautiful piece.
