Movement that needs to be reborn
Sloyd, or slöjd, originated in Scandinavia as an educational system and handcraft movement that promotes self-sufficiency and a deep understanding of local natural resources. It emphasizes practical woodworking skills, particularly with knives and axes, and falls under the category of "green woodworking," which involves using freshly cut (green) wood instead of kiln-dried wood. Sloyd is not limited to woodworking; it also includes crafts involving paper, textiles, and metal. The items produced, such as spoons, bowls, cups, buttons, coat hooks, and furniture, are intended for everyday use around the home.

About Paul
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website!
My name is Paul Oak, and I am the proud owner and creator behind the hand-carved spoons, treen and handmade brooms you'll find here. I currently reside in the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Ontario, nestled in the beauty of the boreal forest on magnificent Lake Superior.
For the past seven years, I have been passionately honing my skills as a woodcarver. What began as a search for a hobby that would reconnect me with nature has blossomed into a deep-rooted passion and a meaningful part of my life. Carving has not only provided me with a creative outlet but has also become a crucial tool in promoting mindfulness, relaxation, and improved mental health.
As a single father, finding moments of tranquility and self-care has always been essential to me. Woodcarving has been a wonderful avenue for personal growth and self-expression. It has allowed me to find solace and peace amidst the chaos of daily life, while also nurturing my creativity and sparking joy in my heart.
If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always here to connect, share stories, and inspire each other.
Wishing you tranquility and happiness,
Paul
