Spalted Maple Log No. 01
This maple limb was found after a storm in my local neighborhood here in Needham, Massachusetts. At an estimated 56 years old, its rings tell the story of decades of growth, and its spalting creates patterns that only Mother Nature herself could paint. (Read more about the magic alchemy of spalting in my blog!)
A rare find, this single limb has been transformed into a small, signature collection of functional art.
From this roughly 3-foot-long, 7-inch-diameter log, I’ve hand-carved five spoons and two spurtles. Each piece is one-of-a-kind—a tangible connection to the tree, the storm that brought it down, and the craft of spoon carving that brings its story to life.

Dandelion Salad Servers — Signature Pair
Hand-carved from storm-fallen maple • Kolrosed by hand • One-of-a-kind
This matched set of salad servers was carved from a single small maple limb, gathered after seasonal trimming in Needham, Massachusetts. The wood carries light, natural figure and subtle color variation that reflects its origin — a modest branch turned into something quiet and refined.
Each handle is decorated with a dandelion motif using traditional kolrosing. Fine incised lines create a soft, wind-drift effect that integrates cleanly with the spoon form. The design is subtle enough for daily use but distinctive enough to read as a crafted piece, not a factory object.

Giving back
The spoon wood comes from fresh, still wet "green wood" branches that fall during storms or routine tree trimming. This wood would normally go to waste, but using it for spoons allows the trees to live on!
The hand-carved shape of each spoon is dictated by the natural shape of the wood which, just like the unique trees they are from, means no two spoons are alike. They are also finished with non-toxic, 100% food-safe finish to ensure they last for years to come!
Each spoon is a gift from the beautiful trees around us so I believe it is important to complete the circle of giving by donating 25% of profits to local non-profits working to do good in the world.
Spoonweather
Each Spoonweather spoon is hand-carved from fallen New England wood, transforming everyday branches into one-of-a-kind functional art. Every piece is unique, reflecting the natural grain, spalting, and imperfections that make it truly special.
My spoons come in three tiers:
Everyday Spoons — practical and beautiful tools for daily use
Signature Spoons — featuring hand-etched kolrosing designs and artisanal details
Premium Spoons — limited-edition heirlooms crafted from rare wood with striking patterns, meant to be treasured
Each Spoonweather spoon is a collectible work of functional art, with limited quantities ensuring that every piece is unique.
I began carving in 2020 after noticing freshly fallen branches being sent to the woodchipper during walks with my golden retriever, Coco. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion for creating heirloom-quality kitchen tools — and when it thunders and lightning flashes, it sounds like Spoonweather to me.
I hope each spoon brings the same joy to your kitchen that creating them brings to my workshop.
