JR Woodcraft

Handcrafted wooden ware

I’ve been a practicing woodworker for close to 20 years and carved my first spoon more than 10 years ago and fell in love with the art of spoon carving. I enjoy working with local materials, which connect us to a specific place. Green woodworking is working with wood straight from the log. For most of human history this was how people worked with wood. When it is “green” the wood is still wet which makes it much easier to work with hand tools. Working primarily with hand tools, I can feel closer to the materials and to my natural surroundings.

I am a spoon carver and maker of woodenware  such as eating spoons, cooking spoons, bowls, cutting boards, carved boxes, shrink pots and small furniture such as stools, shelves and bookcases. Some ready made items I make are for sale and others can be requested through pre order.  I offer one on one and group training in spoon carving and green woodworking. You can visit my shop page for in stock spoons or custom orders.
