Spoons make fun, simple projects that develop your carving creativity and self-expression.

This book shows how to elevate the humble wooden spoon from a utilitarian object to a love token or a work of art.
Spoon carving instructor Shirley Adler will get you started making beautiful spoons to keep for yourself or give away. All you need are a few small scraps of wood and some common carving tools.
Shirley provides step-by-step instructions for shaping the bowl and adding detail to the handle with two start-to-finish carving demonstrations.

45 ready-to-use patterns offer dozens of mix-and-match designs for both beginning and experienced carvers. A colorful photo gallery shows a gorgeous selection of finished spoons, and an introduction to Welsh and Scandinavian spoon carving traditions, history, and symbolism provides a rich context for this historical craft.
