Artist Statement
All my spoons are sourced from “second chance” wood: trees or branches that come down in winter storms or pruning. I never cut a tree for the sole purpose of spoon carving. I make all my spoons to be functional as well as good looking. 95% of the wood I use comes from Vashon ( or, on occasion, Seattle/Tacoma).
John Moore’s Treenware is shown at the Waterworks Collective, stop #22, on the 2022 VIVA Spring Art Studio Tour, May 7-8 & 14-15, Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 am – 5 pm. For more information on the free, self-guided tour and an interactive map, click here.
