Cotinus eating spoon #33
£25.00
Cotinus is also known as Smoke Bush or Venetian Sumac.
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
A quirky crook eating spoon with ample crank and an unusual bowl shape (for me). The crank is actually a bit far back in the neck but it’s got striking grain pattern and will shovel food just fine.
I had limited supply of Cotinus, they’re all either sold or for sale on this site – when they’re gone they’re gone.

Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm

This spoon has a pronounced crank and a shallow round bowl with a flat rim. It’s a general purpose eating spoon and not a deep bowl soup spoon like traditional round spoons, although you could eat soup with it of course. Plum is very hard and durable.

This light coloured bullace or wild plum spoon has darker heartwood in the depths of the bowl. The wood is very hard and smooth, it’s got quite a deep bowl ideal for soup. It’s a bit cheaper as it’s an old spoon that turned up recently when I tidied my workshop.

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.

Bowl width: 4.5cm

This radial blackthorn spoon has an symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. There’s a striking black line running down it between the darked heartwood and the pale sapwood. It’s got a facetted oval profile handle and some lovely dark red tones in th heartwood. Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous.
Wild plum eating spoon #2

Bowl width: 4.8cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
The bowl and neck of this spoon, from the heart wood of wild plum or bullace, is such a gorgeous deep red brown colour. This wood is very hard and the bowl is silky smooth so it should eat like a dream.
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.
