Cotinus eating spoon #17
£35.00
Cotinus is also known as Smoke Bush or Venetian Sumac.
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.2cm
Bowl length: 5.7cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
A pretty eating spoon with a relatively small bowl and subtle dolphin profile. The handle has a slight hollow and a ripple to provide comfort and fun for your thumb.
Ebonising is done by painting with a solution of iron in vinegar, this reacts with the tannins in the wood to turn it black.
I had limited supply of Cotinus, they’re all either sold or for sale on this site – when they’re gone they’re gone.

Cherry wood eating spoon #2
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.
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.
