Butter Knife Crafting: A How-To - Garrett Wade
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
In these strange times of Stay at Home Orders and pandemic isolation, many of us are finding solace in creative expression. Whether that means caring for your sourdough starter like it’s a newly adopted pet, crafting, or simply crossing things off the To-Do list, hands-on projects bring joy in these hard times. I have been using this time to sit on wood stumps and carve green wood into useful kitchen tools. After reading the Green Woodworking Primer, I’m sure many of you were inspired to jump into the world of green woodworking as well. One of the most accessible and versatile projects to start with is the humble butter knife. They can be carved with as little as two carving techniques and only require a carving knife. Other tools help with efficiency, but are not necessary. Butter knives can range in fanciness from a stick you spread peanut butter with on camping trips to an ornate accent piece on your charcuterie board. There are a range of popular shapes and designs that all have the same two components: a rounded “handle” and a flattened “blade.” Other than that, the sky is the limit. Below you’ll find all the information you’ll need (and then some) to successfully craft your first green wood butter knife.
