Spoons made from recycled timber that are built to last.
-
More than a decade ago, former building consultant David Rauenbusch began salvaging timber from Sydney work sites to make furniture for his family. But it wasn’t until moving from the New South Wales Central Coast to Cygnet, in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, that he and his wife, Michelle, turned the hobby into a full-time woodworking business. Now Phoenix Creations is known for its Soul Spoons, each whittled from recycled timber. There are slender double-edged chef spoons carved from blackwood (“one end for the pot and one end for your mouth”, says Rauenbusch), salad servers from native cherrywood and soup spoons from celery-top pine.
