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.

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.

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.

Spalted blackthorn eating spoon #20
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 6.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This big bold spalted blackthorn spoon eating has a symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. It’s an exceptionally beautiful piece of blackthorn heartwoodwith dark patterns of fungal growth. However the wood is sound and the spalting has gone just far enouh for colour but not enough to soften the wood at all. The handle profile is narrower where you hold and wider at the end, that way it sits vewry sweetly in the hand.

This was from Llangrannog in west Wales where I found it in a woodland having been cut down as much as a year earlier.
Cherry wood eating 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.
