Our spoons are hand carved from native hardwood, usually from the woods of our homestead in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or from 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. 
        The spoons are finished with much careful sanding and a non-toxic, edible oil to a smooth, satin touch. They are ready to be used, whether in the kitchen or simply for stroking. To maintain, handle them often, and if necessary rub occasionally with vegetable oil. Though we have finished them carefully, wood is alive and some spoons may fuzz slightly with use. If this happens, simply sand gently with #400 sandpaper and rub oil into the wood. 
        As artists and artisans we enjoy working with word in this fashion as we hope you will enjoy the end results. 

        Our spoons come and go, usually faster than the web page gets updated. Above is a somewhat representative sampling (we have no "standard" spoons, each is individual) and may or may not be still available. If you are interested in our spoons and want to know what we have currently for sale, please contact us.
