Spoonesaurus is the brainchild of Matt White (@templemtn_matt) and myself, Emmet Van Driesche (@emmet_van_driesche). Driving back from a gathering of spooncarvers, we lamented that there didn't seem to be any gathering place for all the intimate, nerdy details about how to carve spoons that we ourselves had gleaned from reading a number of blogs, watching longer videos on YouTube and following dozens of Instagram feeds for years. We decided to start a project that would give us a platform for sharing what we know in manageable, one minute videos (very unscripted, raw and accessible) on Instagram. These videos are designed to address specific, particular elements of the process. They are captured in the moment when they occur to us, and collectively have built to what we hope is a valuable resource for other spooncarvers. If you have particular topics you would like us to address, please be in touch.
Spoonesaurus is expanding! The first thing is a Spoonesaurus Gathering hosted at Matt's house in southern New Hampshire on March 17-18. This is a FREE weekend of hanging out and carving with fellow spoon nerds. Winter camping, food self-sufficiency. There will be a porta-john and access to water, and a semi-heated shop to hang out in. Be in touch with Matt for further details. The 2nd Spoonesaurus Gathering will be at my home in western Massachusetts, and will be Saturday, July 28th. Same deal, it's free, and you are welcome to camp the night before and after if that would be helpful.
The second thing is Spoonesaurus Magazine! This will be a quarterly magazine providing resources, interviews and information to fellow spooncarvers. The first half-issue will be distributed for free to attendants at the 2018 Greenwoodfest in Plymouth, and copies will also be sent to anyone who subscribes for the first year. More details about this project will be announced on the Instagram accounts and on my blog.
