Carved Spoon - currently unavailable
Many of my spoons are carved from green wood, the blanks split out of a fresh log, then axed to rough shape, and finished with a draw knife, twca cam (hook knife), gouge, and carving knife. Some of my spoons also come from dry wood, which I source from my scrap pile, or just really good pieces that I feel need to become spoons. The bandsaw is often a part of that process instead of my axe. I sand the working surface of the bowl at least, often the whole spoon, soak the spoon to “whisker” it out before final sanding and finishing with my own jojoba/beeswax finish.’
Each spoon is unique, even the ones I am trying to make the same! With daily use these spoons should last years at the very least. No dishwashers, and no soaking in the sink, but they are fine to use dish soap on and scrub clean.
