"A Gathering of Spoons"
by Norman Stevens


Note: Normally I use this space to list the spoons I have available for sale but right now (December, 2023) they have all found new homes so none are available. My sincere thanks to those who purchased the spoons I carved last winter; you have given me the incentive to keep on carving. I plan on presenting my new spoons here as the are completed and ready for you. Thanks for your patience.  Steve

For more than forty-five years I have been carving spoons by hand using native hardwoods, usually from our own forest, sometimes given to us by friends. The spoons are for the most part made using traditional tools and methods, splitting them from the log then shaping them with hatchet, drawknife, spoke shave and gouges. This orients the spoon with the grain, making it stronger, and means a more interesting one-of-a-kind piece as I work with the natural features of the wood. 

My spoons are finished with much careful sanding to a smooth satin touch and are finished with a non-toxic edible oil.  Most are made to be used, whether in the kitchen, for serving or simply for stroking. As artists and artisans we enjoy working with wood in this fashion. I do sign each spoon in an inconspicuous area on the back of the handle ... Signature on spoon ...

If you have any questions regarding the spoons shown below please feel free to email or call and I'll do my best to answer your questions.
