Crafts, Unique Gifts

My [now] very happy client had misplaced the fork to the handmade, family heirloom, salad set. Using the spoon as a guide, I created a new fork to match the style and age of the original. If you’d like me to craft any custom item (with a motif of your choice), out of a wood significant to you (from your yard or an antique), call me at 603-659-2747.

Salad Set. A matched pair of mixed wood utensils makes for a nice country garden salad display. Bet they get a comment at the table. Sorry, these have been SOLD. If you’d like to special order a set or single spoon made of a wood significant to you (from your yard or an antique), give me a call at 603-659-2747 and we can discuss these as we look at them.

Salad Set. This time of lilac wood. Lilac makes a handsome presentation, these will look great against the greens and veggies.
   Again I'm sorry, but these too have been SOLD. However, never fear. As I have stated, I can make a matched set for you, even personalize it. Please call or drop me an email. We can chat about exactly what you'd like yours to look like.

A beautiful ironwood spoon; hard as a rock. Use it for most any mixing, or just for show. Guaranteed to please the cook!

   If you require work on projects aside from spoons or nutcrackers, have a look at the rest of my website.

These are two gifts; one a salad set to be given as a wedding present, made of apple wood. The other, a unique thank you gift made from Russian olive wood. The orange was in my lunch.
   You really should consider something like this for your next gifting occasion. Call me I can make just about anything and we could explore some ideas.

Apple wood. One of the most attractive woods with a very showy grain - displaying here the heart wood and sap wood. This would sparkle in a salad bowl.
   But maybe the first apple wood spoon you've seen?

Another nice redheart spoon, with a bit of a curve to it. When making these I go with the grain, so that the strength of the wood is used to a purpose.
   Be a nice hand me down someday, meanwhile we cook with it to instill the memories it will bring.

Lilac besides being a harbinger of Spring, is a very hard wood. Makes excellent utensils. Give your kid a whack with this spoon and he'll eat his spinach!
   Just kidding! No cards and letters please.

A lovely jewel box for that special person. This one's made from walnut, but could be made from a wood from your home or antique.
   Ask me about a custom one.

Tough to tell from the photo, but this spoon has a short handle. For hard to get places, or little hands?
   Made from cherry wood. Pretty with a nice grain pattern to it.

Random shape. Made from cherry wood. The best nutcracker you'll ever own. No debris mess, and you get all the nut meat.
   A great gift and a must have for healthy snacking.
