Anglo-Saxon Wisdom #2

Signed verso letter engraving on wood.
Monogrammed with oak leaf on the side.

Antique European Oak, 'limed' with titanium white. The wood had been removed from a large antique writing-desk during restoration, but could not be re-used. The colour in the letters is the natural colour of the wood, darkened by age.
The words are from Proverb 14 of the Old English Durham Proverbs. Translated, they read:
A man acts as he is when he may do as he will.

A free copy of Martin Wenham’s new book Martin Wenham The Art of Letter Carving, published by Crowood Press (price £25), will accompany each purchase from the exhibition.
