John Whetstone
Silver Lake, IN In 1978 my wife, Debbie, asked me to make her a wooden spoon that wouldn't break. With only a homemade band saw and an antique wood lathe, I met her challenge and produced our first wooden spoon. In 1984 , I realized my dream of a full-time woodworking business with The Carpenter Shop—designing and constructing custom furniture, doing millwork, and making wooden spoons. Being encouraged by the enthusiastic response of those who purchased our woodenware, in 1991 The Carpenter Shop was retooled solely for the designing and making of Whetstone Woodenware.™ We make Whetstone Woodenware™ from kiln dried hard maple. And after 17 hand operations and a final polishing, the products are treated with mineral oil. The hard maple tree is grown and milled in the USA; our main lumber source is only 10 miles away from our shop. Check out my work!
