Micro Artist Sets Record For Carving Smallest Wooden Spoon
(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Peninsula
Doha, Qatar: A record that has been broken atleast once per year since 2019 has been broken yet another time this year.
Creating the world's smallest wooden spoon, India micro artist Shashikant Prajapati scooped the record for carving a 1.6mm spoon.
The 25-year-old broke the previous record of 2 mm (0.07 in) set by Navratan Prajapati Murtikar (India) in 2022.
To be eligible for this record, the spoon must be a to-scale replica of a standard wooden spoon, meaning it must have a clearly evident bowl and handle, stated the guinness on its website .
Shashikant carved the spoon from a single piece of wood using craft knife and surgical blade.“Making a spoon from wood is quite easy, but making the world's smallest wooden spoon is quite a tough job,” he said, adding that he carved 10 replicas before successfully finalising this one which met the design requirements.

A passionate micro artist, Shashikant hopes to gain recognition for his artistry by setting world records.
He's broken the record for the most chain links carved from pencil lead twice in the past – first in 2020 with a total of 126, then again in 2021 with a total of 236. The record now belongs to Kaviyarasan Selvam (India), who incredibly carved 617 lead links earlier this year.
When he achieved his first Guinness World Records, it was a childhood dream that came true, and he's equally ecstatic to be a record holder once again.
“It gives me the strength to do more such works,” he said, and he hopes his achievement motivates others to follow their own passions in life.
