Spoons
Cutting Boards
Spatulas
Spoons range in size, shape, and style because every piece of wood is different and unique in its own way; beautiful as well as durable.
Our spoons are carved by Bryan, who whittles them by hand using simple hand tools, and frequently, a razor knife/ box cutter. All the bowls are carved first by gouge and then smoothed by hand sanding or rotary tool. Many require no sanding at all because of their immaculate craftsmanship.
Most of Bryan's spoons are made from red cedar or alligator juniper which, although difficult to carve, are the highest quality materials to be found in the high mountain deserts of the American Southwest where he resides. He only cuts dead trees and only uses the purest sunflower, olive, or avocado oil to toughen and finish his creations.
This means: Made without chemicals, synthetic wood preservers or toxic resins.
This means: Made in the most organic way possible from tree to creation and ethically harvested in the USA.
Spoons range in price with small spice spoons starting at $10.00 and large coffee scoops costing upward of $45.00.

The beauty of these utensils is enhanced the more you use them. This is due to the soaking up of cooking oils and the natural darkening process which causes the color variations in the wood to become all the more striking.
With the absorbing of more oils, the colors and patterns of the wood grain start to pop, and the entire piece begins to shine even more.
Age and use tend to achieve greater strength and beauty.
Spatula's start at $25 and can cost as much as $45 depending on wood type, grain pattern, and rarity.

It all started in the mountains when Bryan randomly picked up a piece of hard wood and molded it into the shape of a split tailed mouse. Years later, with the discovery of red cedar, Bryan began to carve more of this series starting with the Owl Spirit. People saw the little four to five inch carvings and immediately loved them. He call this series The Owl Spirit collection and vows that only one hundred will ever be made in the four to six inch bust. The current number made as of winter of 2023 is at: 38
Each one is burned with its own number in the order that it was created and is signed by the artist.

Every year we get a wonderful array of birds that come in the spring, summer, and fall and we love to help them thrive! Our birdhouses have a 1 1/4 inch hole which allows access for many lovely species of songbird and fly catchers. Our favorite species that come back year after year are the swallows which swoop through the air and keep the bugs at bay. All birdhouses are made from recycled wood from old farm buildings, the old Navajo Lodge, and edge pieces and extras from our sawmill.
