I always like carving spoons that are very useful in the kitchen.  This pair of cooking spoons double as scoops. They a

I have been wanting to carve one to offer for sale ever since, but demand for spoons had been so great that I had to put my plans on hold.  Finally, I axed out a piece of wild cherry that had the right grain pattern and immediately saw a salt bowl in in the wood. Everything I carve, I hope to be used in kitchens and on the table.  Salt dishes are very traditional and useful.  The design is both functional and an artisti

Both pieces came from the same log, by the way. From a practical perspective, a salad set makes a lot of sense.  You see, most people make

It is a nice, large cooking spoon, sturdy and functional.  The wood has some very attractive grain patterns which allowed for straight carving lines and gentle curves. I think whoever buys this one will enjoy using it.  It is sealed with Walnut Oil.  As always, my woodwork is sustainably sourced from trees that are storm damaged or that must be thinned. Each piece is entirely hand made in the ancient greenwood tradition. I use only a hand saw, a small a

I carved these in the Scandanavian style, with hooks on the back so that they can hang conveniently on a rack or on the salad bowl. I think whoever buys this these will enjoy using them.  They are sealed with Walnut Oil.  As always, my woodwork is sustainabl

The shape and size of the pinecone was perfect for a knob on a box type basket with a lid.  So, I gathered a bag full of green pine needles and let them dry for a few weeks while I figured out the
