Salad Servers

The challenge of this project was to design a prototype of salad servers to be sold at a gift trade show to an unidentifiable end user. After studying anthropometrics of a human hand, the act of tossing and serving, history of utensils and existing market products, I designed and carved the salad servers from basswood as well as created an appropriate packaging identifying the product, manufacturer, logo, price, etc. I solidified my knowledge of the design process, strengthen 2D and 3D design skills as well as expended the understanding of how wood can be shaped and manipulated.
