Jon has worked with edge tools all his life. During this time he has learnt many traditional working skills. He has also spent many years working on Dartmoor with people involved in outdoor pursuits, such as Ten Tors. He is an ex member of a Search And Rescue team, and has spent many years exploring the Devon countryside perusing his other interest in industrial archaeology and local history. He recently used his local knowledge and field craft skills to great advantage when helping bat researchers work in local woodlands . His work in spoon carving and edge tool maintenance is a culmination of all of his experience.

The flowing feminine lines in his carving reflect his love of the natural landscape. Each spoon is unique, as no two pieces of wood are the same. They are objects of great beauty that are designed to be used.

Jon believes passionately that the skills of both using and maintaining knife and axe blades are ones which need to be shared, in order that we do not loose these important techniques. Jon particularly enjoys sharing these skills with those who have little or no experience of using edge tools.

He runs tailor made courses for anyone interested in spoon carving and woodcraft skills. Using traditional Nordic tools such as the Axe , hook or spoon knife and the MaChris carving knife, he teaches the techniques for the fast and safe removal of waste wood. These skills are key to making anything you wish out of wood.
