About the Author

Niklas Karlsson is a Swedish woodcarver who crafts unique utensils that he sells via his blog: ahardslojdlife.se. In his youth, he spent his holidays in the south of Lapland and bought his first carving knife from a mail-order catalogue as a child. Inspired by Barn the Spoon, who runs a spoon shop in central London, Niklas now runs workshops in his native Sweden and appears at the International Carving Festival Täljfest.
