0:00A customer paid me $5,000 to make her a wooden spoon.
0:04She explained that she was leaving for Germany in two days
0:07and absolutely wanted the spoon finished before her trip.
0:11She was even willing to pay double my usual rate if I could craft a beautiful,
0:15high quality spoon for her.
0:17To take on this challenge,
0:18I made sure to do things the right way.
0:21First, I selected and carved the wood.
0:23Then I sketched out the shape of the spoon.
0:26At first, my customer's husband was against the purchase.
0:29In his opinion, wooden spoons weren't the best option,
0:32and modern alternatives made more sense.
0:35By the way, let me know what city you're watching from.
0:37I'm always curious to see how far my videos travel.
0:41Next, I carefully cut out the spoon.
0:43Then I shape the handle with great attention to detail.
0:47In this line of work, mistakes often don't show up until the very end.
0:51That's why I worked with precision every step of the way.
0:54After that,
0:55I carefully carved out the bowl of the spoon to give it its final shape.
0:59In total, the entire project took me three hours to complete.
1:03The before and after transformation is truly impressive.
1:06When the customer finally saw her spoon,
1:09she was thrilled. Even her husband,
1:11who had opposed the project at first,
1:13ended up falling in love with the spoon.
