Sweden is known amongst green woodworkers for spooncarving largely through the writing of Wille Sundqvist and teaching of his son Jogge. There are very few professional spooncarvers though and Fritiof Runhal is one of the best. He is in the UK at the moment and has just taught a course. Full write up of the course here http://greenwood-carving.blogspot.com/2011/09/spooncarving-course-with-fritiof-runhal.html
