It all started . . . the day Jonathan
forgot to put a spoon in his lunch bag while working as an apprentice to a furniture
maker. He took a piece of scrap wood and quickly shaped a spoon. After being laid
off from his job he setup his home workshop in his garage. The garage was too
cold for glue to set so he could only make single piece products. Jonathan had
majored in art and design at the University of Illinois, and wanted to create
something both beautiful and functional. That is when he remembered . . . spoons. At first he barely survived, even trading spoons for food. His spoons developed
over the years, today making them of cherry wood which has a handsome color and
grain; is durable and smooth; and is strong. His utensils have a unique sense
of balance and warmth because they are designed with the hand and purpose in mind.
Spoons have become spatulas, tongs, spaghetti forks, spreaders, and more. Today
he offers a natural cherry finish, a flame-blackened surface with a sanded edge
to reveal an accent of warm cherry wood, as well as flame-blackened stripes and
spots.

His work has been influenced by
the world around him as well as a truth held within. His father taught him
that Gods creation operates from a principle of individual freedom, with power
from God, given as if it is our own power, from which we freely create our
own lives. This philosophy remains a major inspiration for him in creating
and growing his work and business. From the start-up days of producing spoons
in a chilly workshop in Maine, Jonathans Spoons has grown into a successful
craft business.He has a shop in rural Kempton, Pennsylvania with ten employees helping to
meet the needs of his customers. His time is spent creating new products,
traveling to craft shows with Julia, and fathering four beautiful daughters
and one son.
