The Sound of Christmas Spoons

Loving handmade gifting this year again

been 5 years since I bought christmas gifts

been making them all

i love receiving homemade gifts

so i assume that other do too

more christmas spoons

I'm getting better at these 

but a lifetime of learning ahead of me

almond spoon

acacia spoon

The Sounds of More Spoons

I've been spoon carving again.

its been a while

slow spoons are the best

locally sourced

not a power tool in sight.

great acacia and then some honey locust

all pruned by me or friends from our gardens

ethically and locally sourced

The sound of mediaeval spoons

This is a first for me 

using a mediaeval spoon shape from the Mary Rose 

made from olive wood - pruned from my backyard

local, sustainable and recycling at its best

best of all its a present

now winging its way back to the original land from whence the design came from

The sound of beeswax

Spoon number 8 

Eucalyptus, oiled with orange oil and beeswax 

The sound of wood chips

A pruned mulberry tree

some time

an axe

a knife 

and then some spoons

given as presents to friends

and family

and a stranger in the USA
