Eating Spoons
Take home a hand carved eating spoon from my latest batch of black cherry
These spoons are really something special that I like to do in small batches because of the amount of time and thought involved.
Each one tells a story, but a different story, which is what makes each piece unique. There are no duplicates
Chip carved and brushed with different pigments mixed with milk paint.
