OK...maybe a spoon is stretching things a bit. But this isn't just any ol' spoon. It was hand made by Frank Wright, a spoon craftsman. His shop is located in one of my favorite spots in the world - Lanesboro, Minnesota. His shop has none of the trappings of commercial success. It's cluttery and brimming with sawdust. All he does is make the most gorgeous spoons you've ever seen. Each one even has a name - something that the shape evokes in the eyes of the maker. This one doesn't toss my salads. It sits on a shelf in my office among other treasures. If a person can devote their life to making beautiful spoons, then maybe I can do something worthwhile and even...at times...of beauty.
