A well designed wooden spoon should be a deleight to use; fitting the hand and the mouth, pan or bowl. With a knowledge of the strengths of the wood and building on the best designs from many centuries, our spoons are both beautiful and functional, and should last for many years in daily use.

Spoon carving is time consuming, we use no power tools, only an axe and sharp knives. All our spoons are finished without sandpaper, the surface being created by hundreds of small cuts with an extremely sharp knife. This is requires more skill and time but the result is a spoon which can be washed and dried without the grain raising and becoming "furry" as is common with a sanded surface.

It is our winter hobby, I work in front of the fire in the evening roughing the spoons out and my wife Nicola refines the form and finishes them. We make less than a hundred a year. We hope that people enjoy using them as much as we enjoy making them.

We also offer courses in greenwood carving with knives and axes, from basic tool skills for the beginner to advanced techniques and spoon design for those with more experience <CLICK HERE> for full details ...
