Wooden Spoon Carving (Day 1)

Come learn the incredibly satisfying craft of green wood spoon carving. Starting with locally sourced logs, we will evaluate what makes good 'spoon wood,' where it comes from, and how to split a blank from a larger piece.

We will use traditional edge tools, primarily carving axes and knives, to shape wood into the familiar form of a spoon. Carving is a pared-down way to work with wood. No power tools or loud noises, just the sound of chips and shavings falling to the floor.

No experience necessary.
