- After you have the basic understanding required to carve different styles, Alma will lead you in using different carving knives to make a wooden spoon.
- After carving, you can use different hand tools and paper for sanding, and finish by oiling your piece.
- At the end of the class, you will get to take home a one-of-a-kind hand-made spoon that will last a lifetime.
