Gregg KristophelWood Treenware, Harmony PA
I have worked with wood for most of my life. I was a self-employed carpenter building and remodeling homes. Back in the 1980s, my wife and I canoed quite a bit and I built cedar strip canoes and paddles.
Using many of the same tools, I began demonstrating the old-time craft of making treenware in 1985. Our family also attended French & Indian War period events over the years, setting up as treenware sutlers. Ten years ago, I became a full-time “SPOONER”. My son Jake has apprenticed with me, keeping the spoon carving art alive, and between the two of us, attend about 35 shows each year. I enjoy creating functional wooden utensils like those that have been in use for thousands of years. |
