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!

 

Testimonials

Beauty, remarkable craftsmanship, useful and fun. I use them often. Thank you for your wonderful work. – Marnie ** // **    I eat my lunch with your spoon every day. I bought it from you – it must be seven years ago – it’s still as good as new. -- Stephen ** // **    I really treasure the spoons I purchased from you. I have one that looks like a bird! – Pinetree ** // **    They are the Best spoons (and forks and chopsticks, etc.) in the whole wide world. – Susan ** // **    I had always assumed that “designing from nature” meant to take one’s inspiration from natural forms. I had not considered direct response to natural forms working within the material. Thank you! – Dennis ** // **    I have a most beautiful collection of your spoons, pendants, chopsticks, and hair pins. I'm so glad you and your carving talents are in my life. -- Leigh ** // **
