Learn how to make a spoon using hand tools.
I'd like to welcome you all into my new, light filled studio to learn how to make yourself a coffee scoop. In this one day class of 6, I will teach you my technique for carving a spoon using reclaimed native NZ timber. I will talk you through the properties of wood to help you carve more effectively, and together using a hook knife and a blade we will carve a spoon, your spoon will then be finished with sandpaper, and oiled with a New Zealand made beeswax, and ready to take home with you to use.
This class teaches spoon carving using reclaimed hardwood, not Greenwood, which is common for spoon carving.
All skill levels are welcome, anyone can make a spoon with my guidance.
