Handmade Fishing Line Winder in Best Old Green Paint Kikuyu portrait This beautiful vintage Japanese lacquerThis 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
