Welcome
to the spoon carving website of David Knight. That's me sitting on a
shavehorse in the back garden with my daughter. I hope I will
be
able to share my enthusiasm for carving spoons from green wood with
you. I'm also using this website as a tool in my own learning curve in
web design. I'm sure you'll bear with me as the site develops!
The pleasure in spooncarving is in using small branches of freshly
felled hardwood as material for carving useful products that are
both functional and unique. The properties of so-called greenwood mean
that
the carving process is a joy and requires few tools and equipment.
A chopping block, sharp axe, and a couple of knives
are all
you need to get started.
This is a kitchen spoon carved from alder with a simple sloyd
knife
