JENSEN ORIGINALS

Working with wood has been an avid interest of mine since childhood. In 2001 I made my first unique spoon upon my wife's request for the ‘perfect' cooking spoon. This further sparked my creativity as I merged my enjoyment in woodworking with my love for cooking to create functional culinary wood art. I added bowls to my collection and was then inspired to combine these two elements to create spoon and bowl sculptures. Each design consists of separate spoons and bowls that are intended to be used as functional serving pieces; the individual pieces then join together to create a sculpture for display... My creative original sculptures begin by looking at the wood, listening to what it says, and creating what the wood wants to be. The natural characteristics and shape of the wood speak to my soul and allow me to envision the sculpture.
