Barn The Spoon, a master craftsman in spoon carving, shares his extraordinary skills and philosophy in this insightful work. Known as London’s most charismatic spoon whittler, he explores the significance of the humble spoon in our daily lives, from stirring coffee to enjoying dessert. His spoons embody both beauty and functionality, inviting readers to appreciate their role in eating and socializing. The book delves into the new wood culture, emphasizing the connection between wood as a raw material and its origins in trees and woodlands. Barn guides you through the process of spoon carving, teaching you how to handle tools like the axe and knife, and how to achieve the perfect edge for carving. With sixteen unique designs across four categories—eating, serving, cooking, and measuring spoons—he explains how each design is shaped by its intended use. Readers will learn essential skills, including creating octagonal handles, manipulating grain patterns, and working with bent branches. Accompanied by beautiful photography, this book serves as both inspiration and a practical guide to perfecting your spoon carving technique.
