This pretty little blackthorn spoon has a different shaped handle than I usually make, probably dictated by the knarly piece of balckthorn it was carved from. It’s got a small amount of softer wood in the bowl – that pale line through the dark heartwood – that’s why is a little bit cheaper than other spoons here. In my judgement this wont be a problem and there’s years of good sue to be had from it. Blackthorn is tough stuff.

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.

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.
