Blackthorn eating spoon #16
£30.00
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.3cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has an asymmertic bowl making suitable for right handers only. I’ts a tough little spoon being made entirely from heartwood and there’s some lovely dark red tones in handle as well as the bowl. Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous. It’s a bit cheaper than most of my other blackthorn spoons as it was squeezed out of a shallower piece of wood and has a little less crank than usual.

Elm crook eating spoon #6
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.2cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This elm spoon was made from a crook, a bent section of the branch, so the grain runs through the bown. Notice how there long oval rings in the bowl rather than the circles you see on some straight grained spoons. This makes the spoon stronger and the thin, slightly narrower bowl, makes it great eating spoon for main meals like rice based dishes. The elm dries very hard and should last many years of regular use.

Cherry wood eating spoon #2
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 6.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This chunky eating spoon is typical of my recent carving. The bowl is deep enough at the back to hold plenty of liquid but shallow at the front to eat off comfortably. The handle is thicker than you might be used to but oval in profile with a facetted top surface and rounded below to make it extra comfy to hold. Cherry like this with some dark growth rings doesn’t come along very often.
Blackthorn dolphin eating spoon #1
Length: 19cm (7 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 7cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This elegant blackthorn spoon has plenty of gorgeous heartwood in the depths of the bowl and striking colour on the back of the handle. It does have a little bit of softer wood in the heartwood on the back of the bowl but I think it’s sound will last for a good long time. It’s a bit cheaper than it would otherwise be. I decided it deserved to go on sale as it’s a bit different to the others here and someone might just fall in love with it. The long narrow form makes it equally suitable as a small serving spoon or a generous eating spoon.
Obviously not for eating dolphins, it’s just that the profile is like some of the old welsh dolphin spoons with a distinctive prominent hump on the top of the neck.
