Carving Wooden Spoons from Olive Wood​

A block of olive wood rests on my workbench, its grain swirling like a tiny river. I use a chisel to shape the bowl, then sand it until it’s smooth enough to run my finger along. I add a curved handle, perfect for gripping, and finish with beeswax. Using it to stir soup feels like holding a piece of nature—this craft isn’t just making utensils, but creating tools that carry the warmth of the wood.​
