Picture


I carve spoons from a variety of woods harvested from my farm and the surrounding countryside. From logs bucked to length with a chainsaw, I then split billets with a wedge and sledgehammer, shape them with an axe, and then carve them using straight and curved knives.

All my work is finished without sanding, using just knives and skill to leave a smooth, faceted surface that will become even more beautiful with age and use. Pieces are oiled with a mixture of beeswax and jojoba oil.


One idea is as worthless as another until you actually do something about it, and then it is the action, not the word that matters.  --Orson Scott Card
