About

Kevin Stanton is a New York City–based woodworker with over 20 years of carpentry experience and a decade of hand-carving spoons. He works almost entirely with found wood — collected from city streets after storms, from tree trimmers, and from burn piles — using only an axe and two knives.

Wood is gathered green and easiest to carve. Most of the carving happens before it dries; final cuts are made after a short drying period. Every piece is sealed with food-safe walnut oil and beeswax.
