***********************************************************************************************
Barn The Spoon is a rare master craftsman in the art of spoon
carving. In this book he generously shares his extraordinary skill,
gentle philosophy and his life's work - designing and carving
beautiful spoons that are both a joy to use and hold. The simple,
ordinary spoon is part of our everyday lives, intimately entwined
with the acts of eating and socialising, from stirring our first
cup of coffee to scraping the last bit of pudding from the bowl.
Barn's spoons will take you on a journey into the new wood culture,
from understanding the relationship between 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. Showing you 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, the book
features sixteen unique designs in the four main categories of
spoon - eating, serving, cooking and measuring spoons, 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 - such as creating octagonal handles,
manipulating grain patterns and mastering bent branches. With a
chapter on the tools and basic techniques, four more chapters on
different styles of spoons, and beautiful photography, there's
plenty to keep the beginner or professional busy.
