Jumbo Spoon or Sauna Spoon by Jon Strom

Carved from the gorgeous wood of an apple tree, this beautiful sauna spoon or jumbo spoon is hand made by North House Instructor Jon Strom.  Measuring 20" long, and approximately 5" across, the spoon is a beauty for your sauna or fish boil! The spoon comes with a leather thong and is carved with a notch in the back to hang however you like.

Jon is a sculptor, woodworker, and log builder from Cook, MN with a strong interest in Swedish spoon and bowl carving techniques as well as the history of log building. He has demonstrated at Grand Portage National Monument, Old Fort William, Forest History Center and White Oak Society, and has taught at various workshops, including Goods from the Woods in Grand Rapids. Jon also has designed his own personal bowl carving bench, which may be adapted by students for their own workshops.
