Indian Engineer Creates World's Smallest Wooden Spoon at Just 1.13mm Long

K Bijay Kumar Reddy, an electrical engineer from Odisha, has achieved a remarkable Guinness World Record by crafting the world's smallest wooden spoon.

This 23-year-old miniature artist from Ganjam district has created a wooden spoon measuring just 1.13 mm in length - so tiny it can pass through a needle's eye.

Reddy's incredible creation has surpassed the previous record of 1.64 mm, which was held by an artist from Bihar.

Locally recognized as the 'Odisha Chalk Artist,' Reddy shared with NDTV that his involvement with his college's art club sparked his interest in micro-sculptures. He emphasized that creating such a minute spoon demanded steady hands, exceptional patience, and intense concentration.

Given the extremely small scale of his work, Reddy revealed that he had to design and create his own specialized micro-tools for the project. His previous artistic accomplishments include miniature sculptures of cricket players and the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, all carved on chalk.

After spending three months perfecting the spoon before submitting his record attempt in January, Reddy is already looking toward new challenges. "I have applied for five other records, which are currently under evaluation," he stated, adding that he aspires to achieve five new records in a single day in the future.
