Bowl length: 6.5cm

A well cranked eating spoon with an ebonised handle and an ample bowl. 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.
