The Story of Lydia's Spoon
A while back, a customer at a craft show asked if she could spend a day in our workshop to make a spoon of her own design.
“I'd been thinking for months about how to mark the occasion of my 50th. I didn't want a party,… What I wanted was to try to make something I'd never tried before….
Meb gently guided me through the whole process, from selecting the block of wood (from a maple tree that had lived on her road), through design, carving, shaping, polishing, and sealing. It took seven hours, several trips to that very cold outhouse, and a restorative bowl of soup at midday to create my single spoon…
Making this wooden spoon was an experience I'll never forget, and to this day I've not seen another spoon quite like mine. It's my absolute favorite of the more than 200 wooden utensils in my kitchen. I use it to stir soups and sauces, toss salads, and taste meatballs. The spoon fits my hand, the length suits my height, and the slightly lopsided shape makes me giggle.
I'll probably never make another spoon, so I hope this one lasts a lifetime.” , from Lydia W’s blog, The Perfect Pantry, May 1, 2011
