Amy's Celtic Love Spoon Project

Hi there, Amy here. I'm an artist at heart, having always done traditional paintings, sketches and clay sculptures. When Rob decided to get into woodworking I struggled to find my niche. Sure, I had built tree-houses and wooden go-carts as a kid but as a thirty-something adult now that wasn't going to fly. (especially with no kids to speak of) Desperate to find a hobby we could share and do together I tried power carving...

My first official project is this Celtic Love Spoon. It was carved with both a Foredom Power Carver and a traditional carving knife. It's done in Basswood and finished with Arm-R-Seal. I'm extremely proud of this piece, especially since it's my first one. I'm fascinated with the Celtic knot designs and I plan to do many more of these in the future.
