Plum eating spoon #6

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.

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.

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

A round bowl sycamore eating spoon or soup spoon with my special red and black milk paint finish, folks at Spoonfest called them lavaspoons and the name has stuck.This is a rare round one – I’ve only made about 4 or 5 of these all told. This one has an extra special handle as it has 7 facets on the top surface, I usually only carve 5.

This has quite a deep bowl, better for eating soup and more liquid foods but would work OK for porridge.
