Fin Spoons
Piles of cooking and eating spoons to finish
My finest spoons in Maple
Natural Beauty that is useful every day
There is something special about taking fresh cut wood and turning it into a spoon. It becomes a special process that gives a tree new life.
I started making spoons the first of September 2019 after seeing a local spoon-maker at a mountain craft fair. I bought a wormy Maple cook spoon and that started my spoon journey. The tools are simple: Granfors Bruks carving ax, sloyd knife, drawknife, and spoon knife. No power tools! No noise. Just pulling the spoon out of the wood. I learn something from every spoon I make. Hidden knots, twists, interesting grain, all kinds of variables. All the wood I’ve used is locally found. I love to highlight the grain of each spoon.
One of my favorite things to do is carve a spoon and return it to the people who owned the wood. Everyone loves spoons and if it came from their yard, it is even more special.
As of summer 2021, I am getting started with selling them. Catch me at a local market or contact me using the button circle in the bottom right of the page.
