WORKSHOP- Axe Carving

Join us for a hands-on workshop where participants will learn the art of axe carving to transform a wood round into a spoon blank. This engaging session will introduce you to the fundamentals of using an axe safely and effectively. Carvers will gain essential skills to create a foundation for their spoon, setting the stage for further refinement. We encourage participants to take our follow-up Knife Carving course to complete their spoon project!

What You Will Learn:

• Basic axe handling techniques and safety protocols
• How to select and prepare a wood round for carving
• Techniques for shaping a spoon blank using an axe
• Best practices for maintaining tools
• Tips for transitioning to knife carving for finishing touches

Please Note:

• While the Knife Carving course (carving a spoon) is not required, it is recommended as a pair. It’s one week later.
• No prior experience is required, come ready to learn and create!
