Set aside your power tools to work intimately with wood. Scoop & spoon carving is a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. You only need a few tools and a small workspace. In this class, Dale shows how to make a scoop out of wooden blanks. At CAC, we’ve fallen in love with woodcarving and making wooden spoon workshops— this class builds on skills learned in those classes.

Thanks to Drake Knives for supporting our woodcarving classes with their quality knives!
