Petunia City Wooden Spoons

Petunia City Wooden Spoons made the front page of the July 15th Dixon Telegraph eNewspaper!

Yesterday, I had the chance to visit a friend’s blacksmith and metal working shop. Matt showed me some basic blacksmithing skills at his forge and I made two s hooks. He also helped me get a good start on a garden hand shovel made from a railroad spike. I will be going back at some point to finish up the garden shovel. It is always fun to learn new skills and check out different shops.

The show yesterday cleared out my inventory. I only have 23 pieces left. I started the show with about 65 pieces. That means I will need to carve more over the next 2 months for the Grand Detour Arts Festival on September 8th. So look forward to a bunch of new pieces and as always they will all be unique since I do not use patterns to make my spoons and utensils. 

Thank you to everyone who stopped out at the Nuts About Art event today. I had a great day and met a bunch of new and returning customers.

Two hours left. This is what I have left on the table.

Petunia City Wooden Spoons was just awarded an Honorable Mention for the Nuts About Art event today!

I stayed up late last night working on the last couple spoons for tomorrows event. Included in my selection are spiral spoons, sized spoons, small spoons, large spoons, wavy spoons, and of course LEFT HANDED SPOONS. If you are left handed stop by my booth early as I sell out of my left handed spoons quickly.

Also, new for this event I will have some live edge spoons which feature a live edge section on the handle.
