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! I'm using Rapidweaver software on a Mac.

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.

On the right is a kitchen spoon carved with a simple sloyd knife.
