In this two day class, students will start with freshly cut green wood and carve elegant and useful eating or cooking spoons. The class is limited to six people which means there is plenty of time to cover the basics for new carvers and to dive deeper into the nuances with more advanced students. We will learn how to prepare rough logs into blanks and then how to use simple tools to carve those blanks into spoons. There will be a special focus on the knife grips and other techniques that keep us safe while we work and also give us precise control of our primary tools; the carving knife, curved spoon knife, and gouge. We'll also learn some basic sharpening principles and how to sharpen each of the tools that we use.

Students should bring a basic carving knife like a Morakniv 120 or 106. Other tools will be provided, but bring your carving hooks and gouges if you have them. Contact Tim at tmanney@gmail.com for more specific tool recommendations.

Tuition is $400 which includes supplies and grinders needed for sharpening process. 

Reservations will be first come first serve. Tuition is due upon enrollment.
