Blackthorn pocket spoon #1

Length: 17cm  (6 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 7cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

This eating spoon is unusual for me having a slightly asymetrical bowl making it a right handed spoon. Cherry like this with some dark growth rings doesn’t come along very often.

Length: 19cm (7 1/2 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 7cm

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.

Length: 15cm (6 inches)

This blackthorn pocket spoon has sweet faceted surfaces on the handle to provide plenty of interest for your thumb and on the back of the bowl.

This round bowled plum spoon has a flat rim is a general purpose eating spoon and not a really deep bowl soup spoon like traditional round spoons, although you could eat soup with it of course. Facetted handle and back to the bowl. Plum is very hard and durable.
