Spoon carving is an art as old as stone tools. Carving a spoon can be a meditative job that allows you to take a block of wood and end up with a piece of art that is also a functional kitchen utensil. This spoon is made from walnut and can be made in just a couple hours with basic tools.

When starting out in woodworking, most people are looking for a cheap source of lumber. Firewood is actually a fantastic source of lumber as it is riven and that will provide a much more stable piece of wood. A lot of the projects that people will work on are small enough to come out of a piece of firewood.
