I handle all orders in person, so if you would like to place an order, peruse down below but then reach out directly to me, either by direct message to my instagram account @emmet_van_driesche or by email to [email protected]. The shop for this website is not enabled.

I am generally booking a couple of months out, and am currently booking August 2025. Please be in touch to place an order.

All my prices listed below are retail, and do not include shipping. Shipping for an item or two can range from $7 within the US to $25 to some places in the world. More objects in the box means more shipping, with the exception of the flat rate boxes that I use for blanks and billets. Rather than try to guess, I simply wait until the item has shipped, then let you know the total.

Payment is by check if within the US, and if overseas I will send you an electronic invoice.

spoon blanks and tools

I offer a variety spoon blanks, either finished as you see here, or raw blanks, which have the crank angle established but still have a bunch of axing for you to do. Blanks are $10 each plus shipping, and by far the most efficient way to ship them is in a medium flat rate box, which fits a standard of 15 blanks. I am happy to do specific shapes if you want, I can do outlines on raw blanks or not, I can even number them in the order I think it would be educational to carve them if you like. Most people just order a box of 15, mix of shapes, which is $169 with shipping included. They are always some mix of cherry, birch, and whatever else I have that is good. They are top quality greenwood, and come wrapped in plastic to preserve their moisture. Toss any you don't think you will carve in the first week or so into the freezer, still in plastic. Finally, I offer boxes of billets, which is a large flat rate box of prime billets of wood, $70 for the wood with $27 shipping, for a total of $97. Please note, due to the complexity of international laws governing the movement of green wood, I only ship blanks and billets within the US. I have a number of customers who arrange a subscription for blanks or billets. This can be whatever makes sense for you- a box a month, or every other month, or one a quarter. You can change it any time, as the point is not to lock you in but to make it more convenient for you to get the spoon carving wood you want when you want it. Let me know if you would like to arrange something like this.

Each month I draw a run of template sheets. These are hand drawn posters, each unique, with a mix of forms on them. I give profiles as well as plan views for each form. Template sheets are $20 plus shipping, and when you get in touch I'll get you into the next month's batch.

I mostly carve spoons to order, but I also have a Spoon of the Month Club where members get a different spoon from me each month. You can join or bow out at any time, and the cost is $35 plus shipping per month. Be in touch to take part! For ordering spoons a la carte, please see the prices below.
