Summary: | Many spoon-like tools were found in the excavations executed in many civilizations’ settlements established since the earliest times in history. The spoon, which is understood to be an integral part of human nutrition culture, has always existed in human life from past to present. The manufacturing of the spoon, which is an important tool of the tables, has become a part of traditional handicrafts. Traditional spoon making, which varies according to the traditional form, manufacturing style and raw materials, has become an important element of cultural heritage with its unique features. Although handmade spoon production has decreased recently, spoon making is striving to remain as a part of cultural life with its last representatives in some regions of Anatolia. One of these regions is Pusacık village of Amasya Gümüşhacıköy. This study attempts to introduce the traditional wooden spoon manufacturing method, the tools and equipment used in the manufacturing, the stages of manufacturing and the local manufacturing terminology. The transformation stages of the tree coming from the forest, to tomaka, fasaltak and from there to spoons in the hands of Pusacık’s craft masters, whose number is decreasing day by day, were determined in the course of traditional manufacturing. The contribution made to the traditional folk culture of the region through the spoon types called “Akpınar”, “Kertmebogaz”, and “Sevkiyat” was also discussed in the study. |
