I started out making small figures for my daughters and have since found my niche hand carving beautiful wooden spoons, bowls, and charcuterie boards. I live with my wife, two daughters, and 10,000 tons of wood shavings. Thank you so much for visiting my shop, feel free to reach out with any questions.

How it’s Made
All my spoons are carved using simple hand tools very similar to how someone would have carved a spoon 200 years ago. I used fresh or green wood and start from a full log. All of my wood is salvaged from downed trees on my family farm or waste wood I am able to salvage from my community.
