The Art of Wooden Spoon Carving



Karen Starr led a workshop in which she explained how to carve a wooden spoon from a piece of firewood. She brought wooden spoons in various stages of completion with her, as well as several that were finished. The smooth, satin finishes of the final products were very impressive and told of the many hours of loving labor that went into making them. The one shown here had an extraordinary amount of character!
