Part Process: From Pre-prepared Greenwood Spoon Blank to Finished Spoon.

For those who want to learn or develop the fundamental basic skills of carving a pre-prepared greenwood spoon blank into a finished spoon form, and is the perfect workshop for those who are jsut starting out, and would like to understand the basic fundamentals behind spoon carving, grain direction, etc. without the need to invest in other tools such as a carving axe.

This half day, 3hr Introduction to Spoon Carving workshop is designed for participants, 18yrs+ and will provide the opportunity to learn how to take a pre-prepared spoon blank, and using traditional green woodworking tools and devices (such as drawknives and carving knives) participants will carve and shape the spoon blank into a simple, yet satisfying, spoon.
