We've been fans of Josh Vogel's work since day one, ever since we spied his hand carved spoons at March in San Francisco. Now the architect-turned-master-woodworker and founder of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. is sharing his craft with the world with his new book, The Artful Wooden Spoon. Vogel instructs us on the essentials: how to choose the best piece of wood, which tools you need, and more, in this step-by-step tutorial. Beginning and advance projects are illustrated by 225 photos, all styled and shot by Kendra and Seth Smoot, resulting in a book that, like all of Vogel's work, is as beautiful at is it functional.
