Hand Carved Wooden Spoons by Steve Schmeck and Sue Robishaw
|
The Carving
|
|
For more than thirty years we have been carving spoons by hand using
native hardwoods, usually from our own woods, sometimes given to us by
friends. We don't use exotic or imported woods. The spoons are made
using traditional tools and methods, splitting them from the log then
shaping them with hatchet, drawknife, spoke shave and gouges. This
orients the spoon with the grain, making it stronger, and for us means a
more interesting one-of-a-kind piece as we work with the natural
features of the wood. No two spoons are alike and our inventory comes and goes. What we might have on hand at any time varies considerably. Below is a sampling of previous pieces. Most spoons are priced from $20 to $100. Spoons will be added to the 'Available for Purchase' box below as they are completed. |

I had a reasonably productive winter. Below are a dozen of the spoons I carved from various woods. You can also E-mail me if you have any questions or would like more information on any of these spoons. These are what I consider heirloom-quality spoons.
