spoon carving
Crafting wooden scoops
Spoon carving is the craft of shaping functional spoons from wood using hand tools, typically knives and gouges.
It has experienced a revival as a meditative hobby and entry point to woodworking: I took up spoon carving during lockdown.
The practice emphasizes working with the wood's grain and requires minimal equipment compared to other woodcraft.
