Cotinus eating spoon #18
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.

This one has a flat rim and is good for soup, shallow at the front of the bowl but quite deep in the middle.
Cherry wood eating spoon #1
Length: 17cm (6 1/2 inches)

Bowl length: 7cm

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.
Cherry wood eating spoon #3
Length: 17cm (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.6cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This eating spoon from a pretty pretty piece of cherry has a couple of small knots in the bowl and neck but these are solid and wont effect it being used, they’re kind of like beauty spots.
Elm crook eating spoon #6
Length: 18cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.2cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This elm spoon was made from a crook, a bent section of the branch, so the grain runs through the bown. Notice how there long oval rings in the bowl rather than the circles you see on some straight grained spoons. This makes the spoon stronger and the thin, slightly narrower bowl, makes it great eating spoon for main meals like rice based dishes. The elm dries very hard and should last many years of regular use.
Wild plum eating spoon #8
Length: 17.5cm (7 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm
Finish: hemp seed oil
This light coloured bullace or wild plum spoon has darker heartwood on one side and distinctive speckling through the bowl. The wood is very hard and durable, it’s going to be a joy to eat with. It’s a bit cheaper as it’s an old spoon that turned up recently when I tidied my workshop.
