He’s carving a unique custom wooden spoon every single day for an entire year. I’m not kidding! This is quite the creative undertaking.
From Staian Korntev Druud’s website:
“The past year I spent most of my time exploring the unique organic qualities of wood and how adding of a function can beautifully refine a piece of wood. The project will eventually consists of 365 unique hand carved spoons made from various types of wood.”

A study has discovered that your fancy silverware can make certain types of food taste horrible.
Stainless steel flatware seems to be better than silver in a series of taste tests.
For the very best culinary experience, cutlery should be made of gold, the researchers found.
Dr Zoe Laughlin, of University College London’s Institute of Making, tested spoons made of seven materials – gold, silver, stainless steel, zinc, copper, tin and chrome.
My Sister sent me this photo and it was captioned “Silverware by Tim Burton, available at Macys”. But a little quick googling showed that it’s not Tim Burton but Isaïe Bloch who created this 3D printed flatware masterpiece. And you can buy a printed copy of each piece from his store for about 250 euros each.
According to an article by Beautiful Life:
“Belgian designer Isaïe Bloch explores the notion of decay/processing, ornamental and aesthetic excess as in former rococo and baroque times, moments of collapse/disequilibrium and a balance in between etiquette dining and torture tools. by subverting the logic of perfection and beauty, non-perfect images coming from controlled methodologies are generated.”

According to an article by Capital Public Radio, our compostable cutlery (that we’ve written about before) may not be as recyclable as we thought. The crux of the matter seems to be the definition of terms:
“Compostable versus recyclable? What does that mean? Where does it say?”
It’s an interesting article that many others on the internet are echoing the questions of just how well these environmentally flatware are? It seems those forks, knives and spoons in your compost pile will be there for a lot longer than you thought. Perhaps they are better off used in the garden as row markers?
