What started as a way to stay sane during the chaos of 2020 turned into something much bigger. John picked up carving during the pandemic and never put it down. It gave his hands something to do and his mind a little peace.

Now it’s more than a hobby — it’s a craft John loves and works at full time. The company is named after John’s two greatest inspirations: his sons, Oliver and Calvin (OC/CO).

At OC Spoons Co., every kitchen utensil is a piece of art. Hand-carved from locally sourced, all-natural wood, each spoon, spurtle, and specialty tool is unique, shaped with care, and built to last for generations. These are meant to be heirloom-quality companions for your everyday cooking, designed to bring beauty, warmth, and a touch of personality to every meal.

We create tools that are both practical and meaningful, celebrating the textures and grains of the wood while honoring sustainable, thoughtful craftsmanship. Each piece carries the story of its forest origins and the care that went into shaping it, connecting your kitchen to the land and the people who steward it. OC Spoons Co. makes essential, lasting tools for those who value artistry, sustainability, and the joy of cooking by hand.

All of our products come with a lifetime guarantee. If your spoon ever needs a touch up, reach out and we will bring it back to its full glory.

We take custom orders to fill all of your cooking desires. We create packages of spoons to meet any special occasion - including gifts for a chef, a new couple, an anniversary, birthday, holiday, and any last minute surprise, we are here for you.
