The simple, ordinary spoon is part of our everyday lives, from stirring our first cup of coffee to the long slurp of soup poured with a ladle to scraping the last bit of pudding from the bowl. Barn the Spoon is a master craftsman in the rarified art of spoon carving and a thoughtful proponent of the new wood culture renaissance. His love, care, and passion for wooden spoons is genuine and infectious. In Spoon he brings unparalleled color and character to his role as one of the world’s most respected spoon carvers and shares the extraordinary skill and gentle philosophy he applies to his life’s work. Barn shows how to use the axe and knife, from how they should feel in your hand to honing the perfect edge when carving your own spoons. Featuring sixteen unique designs in the four main categories of spoon—eating, serving, cooking, and measuring—Barn takes you through the nuances of their making, how each design is informed by its function at the table or in the kitchen, and the key skills you will learn. Stunning photography on nearly every page both inspires and acts as a blueprint to help perfect your technique. A celebration of the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary, Barn’s spoons take you on a journey into the new wood culture, from understanding the relationship among wood, the raw material, and its majestic origins in our trees and woodland, to the workshop and the axe block, and into your own kitchen. This gorgeous, full-color book is the perfect gift for the home chef, woodcarver, crafter, collector, artist, escapist urbanite, or anyone harboring dreams of a self-sufficient lifestyle. Review: What a Fantastic Masterpiece! - I’m a hobby woodworker and like any woodworker love the feeling of wood in my hand with a hand tool. So naturally this book seemed worth a try. Well...Not only does Barn show, describe and demystify a variety of techniques, he also shows you how to keep yourself out of the ER! Perhaps the most outstanding element of this book is simply the writing. Barn’s eloquence with words makes this book a joy to read. The man is clearly a closet academic - such a gorgeous writer! It leaves the reader with that Sunday afternoon whittle the wood while sitting on a log in the middle of the woods feeling. My wife, an avid reader, but a woman who has never picked up a saw simply loves to pick up this book. I highly recommend Spoon - it’s simply a masterpiece! Review: It is beautifully illustrated and very well written - A very special book. It is beautifully illustrated and very well written. Not only does it provide solid information on all aspects of spoon carving technique and design, it offers a stimulating philosophy of respect for wood and the process of making things. Barn is a unique character and this book is terrific extension of him and his love of spoon making. And if that isn't enough to entice you, the book itself is the most solid hardback book I have ever had the pleasure to handle. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #137,648 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #49 in Tablesetting & Cooking #62 in Carving Crafts #112 in Woodworking Projects (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 578 Reviews | ## Images ![Spoon: A Guide to Spoon Carving and the New Wood Culture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pb95rsJTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a Fantastic Masterpiece! *by M***. on March 30, 2019* I’m a hobby woodworker and like any woodworker love the feeling of wood in my hand with a hand tool.
