Cotinus eating spoon #33

Cotinus is also known as Smoke Bush or Venetian Sumac.

Length: 18cm  (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.8cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

A right handed eating spoon with an ebonised handle. 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.

Length: 16.5cm
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 5.2cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

This round bowled plum spoon has a flat rim is a general purpose eating spoon and not a really deep bowl soup spoon like traditional round spoons, although you could eat soup with it of course. Facetted handle and back to the bowl. Plum is very hard and durable.

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.

Length: 16cm  (6 1/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.7cm
Bowl length: 6.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

This striking little spoon from slightly spalted cherry wood has quite a large bowl and short handle like the scandinavian style eating spoon.
