Blackthorn eating spoon #21
£35.00
Length: 16.5cm (6 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 5.8cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has an asymmertic bowl making suitable for right handers only. It’s cleft radially so there’s a mixture of the pale sapwood and the dark heartwood with red and dark brown tones. There’s a striking black line between the two colours of wood and this is characteristic of blackthorn (and other trees in the plum family). Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous.

This light coloured bullace or wild plum spoon has darker heartwood on one side and distinctive speckling through the bowl. The wood is very hard and durable, it’s going to be a joy to eat with. It’s a bit cheaper as it’s an old spoon that turned up recently when I tidied my workshop.

This is a wonderfully proportioned spoon and the side profile is particularly fine, you can’t see it in the photo but you’ll just have to believe me.

A round bowl sycamore eating spoon or soup spoon with my special red and black milk paint finish, folks at Spoonfest called them lavaspoons and the name has stuck.This is a rare round one – I’ve only made about 4 or 5 of these all told. This one has a flat rim and is good for soup, shallow at the front of the bowl but quite deep in the middle.
