From Near Tragedy to Spoons
It was 12:15 in the afternoon and I was just breaking for lunch when the phone rang. It was a trauma nurse at Community Hospital calling to tell me that my daughter Sara had been in a motorcycle accident. 48 hours of worry followed that call, but Sara managed to escape the crash with only two broken fingers and a slight concussion.
Sara works the night shift, so I don’t see her much usually. But now she is home on disability and we get to spend every day together. Since Sara is a wiz at 3D modeling, I thought it would give her something to do if she were to design a spoon that could be roughed out on the CNC router and finished by hand. She got right to it, and at the end of day one, she had designed an entire line of wooden kitchen utensils.
So today we are kicking off our new product line. We are currently offering two wood choices, maple and walnut, but will add others as the whim or requests hit us. Each piece is cut out and rough shaped on the CNC and then I finish them by hand - doing the final shaping and smoothing. Every utensil is finished with a mineral oil bath followed by hand rubbed beeswax before receiving a final buffing. If cared for properly, these beautiful kitchen tools will last a lifetime.
