The word "spoon" is derived from spōn, Old Norse for chip of wood. Wooden spoons then are spoons in their purest form. In Spoon, Barn the Spoon shares his approach to designing and carving this primary utensil. He also introduces the new wood culture, a movement that places sustainable interaction with trees at its center and celebrates woodworking skills forgotten since the advent of industrialized mass production. See how Barn applies this philosophy as he guides you through the nuances of carving sixteen different wooden spoons, taking you on a journey from majestic woodlands to the workshop and into your own kitchen.

Barn the Spoon has been a master artisan of woodcarving for more than twenty years and is famed for repopularizing the art of spoon carving. His spoons are highly sought-after sculptures and functional utensils. Spoon, his first book, extends his teaching and advocation of the new wood culture.
