Blackthorn eating spoon #16
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.3cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This blackthorn spoon has an asymmertic bowl making suitable for right handers only. I’ts a tough little spoon being made entirely from heartwood and there’s some 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. It’s a bit cheaper than most of my other blackthorn spoons as it was squeezed out of a shallower piece of wood and has a little less crank than usual.

Length: 16cm (6 1/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This radial blackthorn spoon is a little narrower than my usual and has an extra large finial. Delicate but strong.

Cherry wood eating spoon #4
Length: 17.5cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.6cm
Bowl length: 6.2cm

This eating spoon from a tight grained piece of cherry has a small knot in the back of the neck. It’s more of a beauty mark than a flaw and and wont effect it being used although it little extra care when cleaning wouldn’t go amiss.
Plum eating spoon #3
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.7cm
Bowl length: 6.2cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This is a wonderfully proportioned spoon and the side profile is particularly fine, you can’t see it in the photo but you’ll just have to believe me. It’s a spoon I carver some time ago and acted as the template for many that followed. The wood is very hard and silky smooth, it’s going to be a joy to eat with.
Plum round bowl spoon #1
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 5.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
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.
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.
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 I found it in a woodland having been cut down as much as a year earlier.
