Handmade Fishing Line Winder in Best Old Green Paint primitive pencil box I believe this beautiful carved

I believe this beautiful carved and painted Pacific Northwest Native American totem pole is from the carved of pine

and quite an excellent one I think--representative of her work (which also included flowers and animals) but as bold and confident and expressive as any I've seen and calling to my mind everyone from to Joseph Yoakum to Philip Guston

In great shape

one might assume

Handmade Fishing Line Winder in Best Old Green Paint primitive pencil box I believe this beautiful carvedThis winder with lyrical form and gorgeous old green paint on one side is pure found sculpture to me (I thought of Richard Tuttle when I spotted it), with the added benefit of spinning! One could certainly bait the hook with a worm and drop it in still, but I'd likely hang it on the wall balanced on small nails under each side of the head. That green is much better in person, and the patina to dry wood on the other side almost as good. Beautiful. 9 1
