November Artist of the Month
Arthur Bradbury
Arthur Bradbury is the featured artist for November. A selection of  his carved wooden spoons and nutcrackers are on display at the checkout desk.
A woodworker for a good part of his life, Arthur started his own solar design and contracting business. For the past decade, he has focused on fine interior finish, custom cabinet work, small renovations and repairing antique and modern furniture. His interest in spoons ties into his love of cooking. His hand-crafted spoons are made from wood scraps or from trees and shrubs thinned from local yards. Each spoon takes between 50 minutes to two hours to make depending on the overall size and depth of the bowl.  You may view his work at:  rabradbury.com
