It has been a while since I've added anything new to the site for sale.  In truth, I haven't carved much.  In late August my dog, Buddy died.  This will probably be one of the only set of spoons you have seen without little Buddy somewhere in the background... 16 years, he was by my side.  Then, in September the hurricane hit that left me without power and water for a month.  It has been a tough time, but I am finally getting back to carving and plan to have several new items available for the holidays.


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


They are a matched set from the same piece of wood, but one is curved and the other flat.  This makes them perfect for scooping up either fine, dry ingredients like flour or beans, lentils, oatmeal, etc.


The wood is wild cherry from a storm downed tree in my yard int he Appalachian Mountains.


They are sturdy and comfortable in the hand, sealed with walnut oil and ready for heavy use.

I think whoever buys this these will enjoy using them.  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 axe and knives. Each piece comes with a handwritten, numbered and signed document. These are heirloom quality spoons that, if properly cared for, will last for generations.

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

Wild Cherry Salt Bowl #1

I ship using USPS Ground, which is the least expensive option that included a tracking number.  If you prefer Priority Mail or another shipping option, international shipping or would like to combine shipping on multiple items to save a little money, please email me at  judson@judsoncarroll.com Last August a lady asked me to carve a salt bowl for the rustic cabin she and her husband were building in the Smoky Mountains of TN.  I came up with this little bird bowl design based on traditional Swiss carving. 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
