Greetings from cold, but still beautiful, New Hampshire! It has been a busy fall – alternating between daily spoon work and outdoor tasks, such as mowing and splitting and stacking wood for the winter. I built myself a rough lean-to to house my tractor and I think it’s going to make things a bit easier come snow.

Spoonwise, I just roughed out a full barrel of three-years soaked Mountain Laurel. It yielded about 100 pieces that will now need to be worked on over the next few months. Meanwhile, the drawers are full of lovely finished spoons and bowls, just waiting for a phone call or email from one of you. Check out what I have here on the website, and if you don’t find something that strikes your fancy, get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.

Happy Holidays and a safe, healthy New Year to you all!
