My first spoon carving course of 2024 was a lovely day working with a terrific group of beginners.
Using fresh silver birch we learned to split billets and carve spoon blanks using axes. Then it was onto knife work, refining and smoothing the shape.
The bowl was the hollowed using a curved hook knife, following the outer shape of the spoon to create a smooth form.
The finished spoons were all brilliant, each with a unique style created by its maker. Several folk then bought carving tools from me which is fantastic as it means they caught the bug and want to continue this new hobby at home.
All my spoon carving courses are suitable for beginners or those with experience looking to develop their skills. Visit Eventbrite for dates and venues: Spoon Carving Courses
I can also teach a private carving course for you and your friends, email stevetomlin8[at]gmail.com for more info.
