This birch spoon I made from a chunk of wood I found in the pile at Sunnyfield is the first spoon I made using the hatchet given to me by Todd Twigg. He found it in a dumpster, and gave it to me at Lopez Winter Solstice 2019. As one of the fire tenders with my brother Lucas I was preparing the kindling by splitting cedar drift wood. The host of the gathering offered me the use of his axes and maul, but there was no hatchet, so this one was very needed. To thank him for his generosity I decided to give him the first spoon born of this hatchet. It has a larger bowl, which matches Todd's big heart. The shape is inspired by the horn spoons of the Haida people.
