This spoon carving kit has been our best-seller for a reason. It’s simple, well made, and easy to use, especially if you’re new to carving.
I designed this kit for people who want to try woodworking without buying a bunch of machines or tools they don’t understand yet. Spoon carving is a great place to start. It’s slow, tactile, and forgiving. You can carve in your home or outside easily. Best part? You will end up with something you’ll actually use.
What’s in the kit
Each kit includes a Japanese carving Mikikchan knife, a bass spoon blank, sandpaper, wood butter and a bandaid for just in case. These are the same types of tools I use in my own practice. Nothing fancy or unnecessary, just solid tools that do their job well. Both video and written instructions are also included!
Good for beginners, still useful later
You don’t need any experience to use this kit. Many people buy it as their first carving project and keep using the knife and gouge long after the spoon is finished. If you’ve carved before, it still holds up as a reliable, everyday setup.
Why people keep coming back to it
Spoon carving is approachable. You can work at your own pace, put it down, and come back to it later. There’s no pressure to make it perfect. That’s part of why this kit continues to be our best-selling one.
It’s also a great gift. Thoughtful, practical, and a little unexpected. Whether you’re buying it for yourself or someone else, it’s an easy way to get started with carving.
If you’ve been curious about working with wood, this is a good place to begin!
