## Description

Buy Spoon: A Guide to Spoon Carving and the New Wood Culture by The Spoon, Barn (ISBN: 9781501182761) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Excellent descriptions that make recreating the spoons fairly straightforward. - Brilliant. I have created most of these spoons based on the very clear instructions. Barn-the-Spoon's own life story is inspirational. Also interesting are the historical contexts surrounding wooden spoons and vessels in Britain's medieval history.
Review: the process of making and a deep understanding of function all inform the design of these simple but beautiful spoons. The 16 spoons are perfect apprentice pieces ... - I came to this book through attending one of Barn’s spoon carving workshops and it conveys his thoughtful but unfinicky approach to making spoons in a very readable and accessible way. The photographs illustrate how the nature of greenwood, the process of making and a deep understanding of function all inform the design of these simple but beautiful spoons. The 16 spoons are perfect apprentice pieces because the process of making each spoon teaches you something new about working with wood. Spoon carving takes me out of my day to day worries and preoccupations to a place of joyful focus and concentration and this book is a proving to be a great guide – I thoroughly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you carve spoons this is the must have book
*by N***N on 30 May 2017*

I have read a number of books in this area and this is by far the best. Older books cover the grips but this is a modern book with good photos. I have met Barn and clearly he is without doubt one of the world experts on carving wooden spoons. That does not mean the book will be good but it is well written, has good photos and even like the physical binding that is better than normal. Great that he does not resort to telling you how to use sandpaper like some books do in this area. Also has useful section on spoon design that I liked as a more experienced carver looking for new ideas
