Come learn the incredibly satisfying craft of green wood spoon carving. Starting with locally sourced logs, we will evaluate what makes good ‘spoon wood.' Carving is a great way to learn about the structure of wood. We will use traditional edge tools, primarily carving axes and knives, to shape wood into the familiar form of a spoon. We will learn a variety of knife grips that will get us around the spoon safely. No power tools or loud noises, just the sound of chips and shavings falling to the floor. No experience necessary.
