Artist Statement

Jeff Fryett is a humble craftsman with a passion for carving spoons. Each spoon is meticulously hand-carved from sustainably sourced wood, using nothing but an axe, sloyd, and hook knife. The final touch is a careful burnishing with a pebble, followed by sealing with a food-safe curing oil, transforming each piece into a beautifully crafted, functional work of art.
