Wooden hand carved spoons...

Wooden spoon carving... this is a hobby I've gotten into recently,  Scroll down to see various styles in several wood types,  Email me to discuss style and wood type based on the number you see.     My spoons are generally meant to be rustic with visible tool markings (knife and chisels marks) intentionally left  showing,  They're meant to be asymmetrical,  each spoon is unique.    After carving is complete,  oil  ( food grade mineral, coconut, walnut, bees wax & olive oil )  is applied,  and each spoon gets wet soaked 2-3 times, this raises the grain, and then lightly sanded,  and oiled again...   then they are ready to use.  To maintain,  oil them when they seem dry with any food grade oil, coconut, or walnut oil is very  good... quickly  wash in warm soapy water, AVOID dishwashers,  let air dry,  and a very light sanding may be needed from time to time if they feel rough to the touch.  My favorite wood for spoons are walnut and Koa.  these seem to hold up best with use and maintain the best feel to the hand over time.  
Prices  vary from $ 25  to $ 75.  larger ladles & big bowls are the most expensive of course.  .
​Koa wood currently about 5$ more each.
Inventory always low.  often spoons must be carved for each order.  Lead time about a month.
