In this hands-on spoon carving class, you’ll transform a simple piece of green wood into a beautifully crafted, functional spoon using traditional hand tools. Working with axe, straight knife, and hook knife, you’ll learn safe tool handling, efficient carving techniques, and how to read the grain so the wood works with you—not against you.
We’ll cover everything from blank preparation and rough shaping to refining the bowl and finishing the handle. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence in sharpening, proper carving grips, and the small details that give a spoon balance, strength, and character.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a finished spoon you carved yourself and the foundational skills to continue exploring the craft of green woodworking at home.
