Sylva Spoon

I love trees. They're best when left alone but sometimes need to be cut down. Then I love turning them into useful stuff.

Going to be making a bunch of these birch bark stars this week.

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

Made a few of these little forks. Trying to use up all my leftover scrap wood.

Handled mug turned from a single piece of birch. Confuses most power turners #woodturning #woodworking #13thcenturytechnology

What's your favourite cooking utensil?

Any recommendations for high protein vegetarian meals? I'm looking to cut down my meat consumption.

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

All the wood I use comes from urban trees cut down due to disease, damage or circumstance. It's great to put the wood to good use.

I love the surfaces left by the knife.

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

Carving wooden spoons with hand tools is a super relaxing activity once you've learnt how to safely use the tools.

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

Not many people realise that left handed cooking spoons are a thing.

Can you guess the wood species?

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

Trying my best to keep the cold out and the warm in. Any suggestions?

[Sylva Spoon @sylvaspoon]

Time to call it day, need a cuppa tea.

Loving me some soups and stews now the weather is getting cold.

@Jose_GROG Only if you're holding the wood wrong.

We evolved to be crafters & had to make everything we needed.When we made things well it would have had a direct impact on our survival. The mental reward that resulted (mood-lifting neurotransmitters) would have encouraged us to continue to make.Those mental pathways still exist

Ten years ago a few friends and I used to meet in a cellar in London to form plans to help preserve craft skills in the UK. Today the New York Times are writing about it, we've come a long way. https://t.co/VbNWBfwg4w
