Hand carved eating spoons and a range of larger spoons for cooking and serving. I also teach carving courses where you can learn to make your own. P&P for spoons is £5 unless ordered with bowls in which case the standard charge of £7.50 per order applies.
Galician spoon
£25
These are based on some I saw in an ethnographic museum during a recent trip to Spain. Those in the background in this photo are awaiting finishing, but they are now complete and all look like the one in the foreground. They are made from birch, which when soaked in linseed goes almost translucent which is very attractive.
Medieval eating spoon
£25
This attractive design with an octagonal handle is based on a Medieval spoon I found in a museum in Lubeck, North Germany.
Perfect cooking spoons
£15 :: 10-12" long
I cook a lot and carve a lot of spoons, I try them all out and refine them until I get a design that works really well. If you enjoy cooking or have friends that do treat yourself to a spoon that really works.
The prefect cooking spoon is neither rounded for flat across the end, it is a gentle curve and cut at an angle either right of left handed. This allows you to sweep around the base of the pan efficiently. The end should be robust enough to scrape scrambled eggs as they begin to thicken but thin enough to easily cut into food when serving.
Narrow spoons are great for bechamel sauce or other liquids where they won't splash and also for removing the last few beans from the base of a tin. Broader spoons are better for serving. It is just possible to make a spoon that cooks well and also serves well, this is great as again it saves washing 2 spoons. Let me know if you want a left handed spoon.
Sycamore serving ladle
£45 :: approx 9" long SOLD
This was made from a really bent piece of wood so the bowl is at a really good angle to the handle. It has some great knots and swirls in the wood too.
Birch serving spoon
£45 :: approx 10" long SOLD
The log had a natural curve so it is a beautiful shape with the grain running around the bowl. It is also slightly spalted so a lovely colour.
Small alder servers
£25 each :: approx 7" long SOLD
Just a bit big to be eating spoons, but they are still lovely and will make great small serving spoons.
