RED STICK SPOON COMPANY
Red Stick Spoon Company is a mom-and-pop retirement hobby job. Bubba and Paula Traxler are the production, sales and marketing team. They started this company in March of 2018 after Bubba retired from outside sales and started carving for fun. They converted the garage to a shop and Bubba began carving decoys. He is an avid hunter and fisherman. His love for outdoors and the wood working skills he learned from his uncle lead to his passion for carving everything from decoys to spoons. One day Bubba was making spoons and showed Paula that he made a left handed Roux spoon! Now this is the pivotal moment in the business. Bubba is left-handed and very excited about the prospect of this product. He started making left- and right-handed Roux spoons. This led to making crawfish paddles, ambidextrous spoons, spatulas, rolling pins, cutting boards, and so much more.
Over time, his skills in carving have truly evolved to a fine art. Some carvings are so very detailed that they look real, and some are whimsical art forms. When Bubba is in the woods deer hunting, he sees sticks and driftwood and his imagination goes wild. He makes walking sticks, bowls, and baby wood ducks coming out of the trees. Bubba uses cypress, oak, walnut, maple, purple heart, cedar and any food safe woods for his spoons and cutting boards.
