Jonathan Morel carves kitchen utensils by hand in Belchertown, Massachusetts, and the whole operation is one person at a bench. The line covers cooking spoons, deep scoops, spatulas, pancake flippers, spreading knives, sugar spoons and pie servers, cut from six woods including sapele and satine. Many pieces come in right and left handed versions, a detail almost nobody else bothers with. If a spoon cracks in normal use, he replaces it.
Most buyers here met the work at a New England craft fair and came back for a second piece; the online shop is small and stock depends on what has been carved lately. Shapes are carved rather than turned, so handles are comfortable and slightly irregular, which suits cooks who dislike identical factory outlines. Anyone needing matching sets in a fixed quantity, or a guaranteed delivery date, will find a one person shop limiting.
