Jonathan's Spoons

From the start-up days of producing spoons in a chilly workshop in Maine, Jonathan's Spoons has grown into a successful craft business. Jonathan has a shop in rural Kempton, Pennsylvania where his two brothers; Shawn and Neil Claypoole have joined him in creating his many designs.

His spoons have developed significantly over the years. Originally made of uncommon spoon woods such as lilac, plum, and honeysuckle, he has since chosen to make his spoons of cherry wood. He describes cherry as a hardwood with handsome color and grain, durable, smooth, and strong. Jonathan's utensils have a unique sense of balance and warmth because they are designed with the hand and purpose in mind.

Jonathan's work has been influenced by the world around him as well as a truth held within. He grew up surrounded by magnificent architecture and design in his hometown of Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania.
