Blackthorn eating spoon #3

Length: 16.5cm (6 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 5.5cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

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 an extra special handle as it has 7 facets on the top surface, I usually only carve 5.

This has quite a deep bowl, better for eating soup and more liquid foods but would work OK for porridge.

Bowl width: 4.7cm
Bowl length: 6.2cm

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. It’s a spoon I carver some time ago and acted as the template for many that followed. The wood is very hard and silky smooth, it’s going to be a joy to eat with.

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.

This spalted blackthorn eating spoon has sweet faceted surfaces on the handle to provide plenty of interest for your thumb and a lovely splash of colour on the back of the bowl. A unique spoon from a unique piece of wood.
