Program Details:

Greenwood carving is an accessible form of woodworking that utilizes freshly harvested woods, creates very little waste (mulch for your garden!), and can be done without machinery--making it very popular within the bushcraft community. In this class, you will learn how to carve a wooden spoon (2.) using a sloyd knife and a hook knife. To focus on proper knife handling techniques and cuts, the class will carve from pre-made spoon blanks. In addition, you’ll (1.) learn the full process of transforming a foraged log into a finished spoon and how to properly care for your carving tools.
