Wooden Spoon Carving, August. 2023

08/05/2023 10:00 AM - 08/06/2023 04:00 PM ET

Description

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. Spoon carving is a great way to learn about wood technology—the structure of wood, how it wants to be cut, and the characteristics of different species many of which cannot be found in commercial lumber yards. We will use traditional edge tools, primarily carving axes and knives, to shape wood into the familiar form of a spoon. Essentially a bowl with a handle, the spoon is a three dimensional ride around shifting inside and outside curves. We will learn a variety of knife grips that will get us around the spoon safely and effectively. 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.
