Hatchet + Bear Spoon Carving by E J Osborne
This book demonstrates how with three basic tools you can shape a tree into an honest utensil. As well as information on tree identification to source fresh green wood, EJ Osborne gives advice on harvesting and storing wood. She explains how to use each of the tools safely when working the carving techniques. Once confident with the woodworking skills, you progress to the projects were full instructions are given for making five utensil types, starting with the simplest spatula, cooking spoon, and hanging jar spoon, before moving on to a coffee scoop and graduating on to the bent-branch spoon.
E. J. Osborne studied Product and Furniture Design at university, which led him to the realisation that he did not want to design products for mass manufacture that would simply add more ‘stuff’ to an already overburdened planet. After a career break to start a family, in 2011 EJ started to get the ‘maker’s itch’. It was an itch to make something soulful and meaningful, which led him to spoon carving. To E. J., carving spoons felt so good that he now does it all the time, alongside running workshops to share his passion with like-minded makers. EJ's spoons have been stocked in Anthropologie and The Conran Shop. In 2014, EJ gave a TEDtalk on his work. www.hatchetandbear.co.uk @hatchetandbear
