I am 67 and happily retired. I spent 25 years as a quality manager for  paper companies located in Wisconsin and Minnesota. I have taught Art in public schools and hold a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater.

I make many different wooden cooking utensils. Including spurtles, spatulas, spreaders, mixers, mashers, muddlers, forks, spoons, etc. etc.. etc.  Most are made from cherry and maple. They are treated with mineral oil and beeswax. Both are considered safe for contact with food. They are also safe to use on non stick cookware.  My intent is to make something that is as pleasant to look at as it is to use. While some pieces are similar I try to make each piece different and unique.
