Cherry wood eating spoon #2
£35.00
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 eating spoon #17
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has a symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece of blackthorn heartwood with lots of 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. Blackthorn is prunus family like plum and damson and shares the same exceptional colours. It usually grows as a prickly shrub on scrub land and in hedges and it’s rare to get large enough pieces to carve like this entirely from the heartwood. This was from Llangrannog in west Wales where an overgrown lane side was cleared back to allow traffic to pass more easily.
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.
Lavaspoon – round bowl #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
Finish: hemp seed oil
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.
