Handcrafted Spoons
Since humans have been using tools, we have been making spoons. Every culture has a history of making and using wooden spoons, I am continuing this humble tradition.
Each spoon ! make comes from fresh wood, from logs found in and around Manchester UK. Using fresh or green wood enables the spoon to be carved relatively easily with an axe and knives, it is then set aside to dry for a few days before being finish carved to a smooth knife finish. Each spoon is oiled with two coats of pure Linseed oil, a traditional food safe finish.
If you would like to commission a spoon to be made just send us an email or to see what's available, please visit the SHOP.

Hand tools only! This tree had fallen over at a nearby school, they allowed me to come and cut it up to take away for spoon carving.
Kolrosing is the Scandinavian tradition of incising thin decorative lines and patterns in carved wood and filling with dark powders (charcoal, coal dust, coffee grounds, graphite, ground bark) or colored wax, etc. for contrast. Kohlrosing dates back to at least Viking times.
