Steve Scott – Spoon Carver & Green Woodworker

My Demonstration…..

I will be demonstrating the methods I use to carve my spoons using just hand

tools Axe, Saw, Adze and Knives. I will also be giving a talk about the history of

wooden spoon in the UK. I will bring along plenty of examples that you can look

 

at closely and handle (they are very tactile) and I will be happy to answer any

questions you might have.

About me

I’m a lifelong woodworker starting off with my Dad who was a carpenter and

joiner, he made me my first toolbox when I was 5 and I haven’t stopped since.

Along the way I’ve worked as a freelance Modelmaker and Propmaker (for 10

years) followed by 20 years of teaching Product Design. So I have a very broad

skillset but at the core of it all is my love of MAKING.

I started making spoons about 15 years ago and since then have developed a

real love for greenwood working of all sorts. Most recently has been making

Stave Baskets, which is a critically endangers craft – so I feel great that I am

keeping them going, even if only in a small way But spoons are my passion and what I always come back to…
