Walnut spoon

Found a nice piece of walnut that had been laying around my studio so, thought I would make a little spoon. This one measures about 11 inches long with the bowl being 2 inches. So smooth to the touch. Can be purchased at WoodnFire.

Today I am going to try something out of a piece of root I found the other day while walking my dog, Luna Bella

Walnut slotted spoon with inlayed malachite

A few days ago, I was in my studio and found some really nice mesquite and thought I would make a spoon. The grain is very interesting and pleasing to the eye. I inlayed malachite into the handle. Malachite is a stone of good fortune and prosperity / abundance, too and is also a very protective stone, being especially helpful for general protection, protection from evil. So, this would be a good spoon to use everyday!! This can be found on my Etsy store WoodnFire

Sycamore Spoon

For Christmas last year, I made many spoons and gave them as gifts. Then I started making more salt boxes but as the weather grew warmer I found myself having other desires such as gardening and traveling.

It has been almost a year since I have posted anything here but,  the weather is cooling down and it is rainy today so, I thought this would be a good time to get back to blogging.

These spoons were hand carved from a sycamore branch that came down after the last big wind storm we had in Dallas. They sure are fun to make and I find it quite meditative.
