Reproductions
Sometimes we’re asked to reproduce a special piece. We LOVE that! We work best using the actual piece as a guide, but can work from pictures, too. We’ll give you a price, and then, if you want a perfect match, a small “matching” charge. Since we didn’t design them, we use our TM brand for these pieces.
 | This well-loved spoon was originally bought over 50 years ago in Finland. The duplicate is made of Flame Birch, a well-known wood in that country.

 | This early 18th century spoon (bottom spoon) is owned by a neighbor who is an historical re-enactor. He wanted a reproduction spoon so he could leave the valuable antique at home when portraying his character at events.
The original was made by a New England Indian—a Pequot or Massachusett--probably of a Maple burl. It’s meant to hang from a belt for traveling and is smooth and well-seasoned after 300 years of use! I made the duplicate of maple and left it unfinished so he could season it himself. What a thrill to hold History in my hands! |
 | I made the spoon on the right last fall. It was bought by a right-handed New Jersey man who loves to cook. This year he came to a spring show and sheepishly said that he thought the spoon was a leftie (he was correct) and could I match the spoon for him? It’s a lovely dark Maple—a lot of heartwood in streaks with a gentle curl. Fortunately Tom found some similar wood and I made him a rightie.

 | This silver-handled salad set was found in a customer’s in-law’s former home. No one else could see the possibilities, or wanted it because of the damage. Smartly she brought it to us and we matched it in her choice of wood—cherry.
