Repurposed Wood Studio I currently work from Bethany, Oregon. Then lots of fish bonkers followed - again exploring different wood effects. Requests came for coasters that matched.

Repurposed Wood Studio makes hand carved utensils and artistic forms from cast-off scraps:
rolling pins, bowls, spoons, rice paddles, cheese and charcuterie boards, vases, cups, knives, wok stirs etc. Welcome to Artisan Wood Kitchen Utensils

The Repurposed Wood Studio started off as FishOff, making my popular FishOff "no touch" fish release tool in a variety of recycled hardwoods. Then I started making hand carved utensils - again from cast-off's scraps and recycled wood - various styles of rolling pins, spoons, rice paddles, wok stirs, and pestles, muddlers, bowls, scoops and tongs. Then people asked for cheese boards and knives. They've been hugely popular! In the last two years I've spent more time on bowl and vase forms: less concerned with what the finished piece would be used for and more focus on bringing out the truest form of that piece of wood. I prefer to work in koa and mango when in Hawaii and pacific yew in Oregon, but find myself experimenting with lots of woods.

The french rolling pins i make are typically 20in long and 1 7/8 to 2" in diameter.
The professional bakers usually ask for something bigger. So this pin is 22 in long and 2 1/4" in diameter. It lets the pin do more of the work. $100
The wood is pacific yew... the hardest of the soft woods, and the finish is as smooth as glass.
Available now, (I make one like this each year) or try for it at New Sweden's goat market on Nov 28.

Trying something new to me. These are examples of an idea called basket illusion. Make a box ( or a plate, or platter, or bowl), the bead the surface, burn equal segments with a woodburner, the pick or make a pattern and color it in.
Sounds simple enough.... but the devil is in the details! And there are a LOT of details!!
The first box is pacific yew, 5in tall and 3in diameter, and can be yours for $67
the second is magnolia, 7in tall and 4in diameter. $140
