The making of...
Tom Henscheid carves spoons out of greenwood sourced from trees of the Pacific Northwest. Many of his hand-embellished designs reflect the beauty that exists in nature—shells, leaves, and branches. For Tom, the creative process starts when he picks up his sloyd knife and starts carving with the grain. As inspiration strikes, he uses a variety of tools to bring the wood's natural beauty to the forefront. And as a result, each spoon is an interplay between art and functionality; distinct in form and finish.
