Barn The Spoon
Spoon Man
Barn has been a woodwork obsessive for over 20 years. 8 years ago he decided spoons were his thing and dedicated his life to them. Each spoon is a joyous celebration of functional sculpture. In recent years Barn has spent more time sharing his passion through teaching at The Green Wood Guild.
