Full description

A birch wood eating spoon with a birch leaf shaped bowl, a green milk paint handle and an asymmetric handle end.

The spoon has been made from a freshly cut (greenwood) log which was locally sourced, to its final shape using traditional methods- splitting the log firstly into a 'blank', drawing on a rough shape before axing this out and then finalising the shape using an array of knives. This leaves beautiful cut facets which mean no sanding is required. After drying, the spoon receives a final shaping by knife, before the handle is painted using food safe milk paint. The green of this handle strongly resembles that of the birch tree's leaves, The spoon is then burnished using a smooth Scottish pebble leaving a silky feeling to the wood. The wood is then sealed using organic food grade linseed oil.

This eating spoon makes a wonderful daily use item and is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It equally travels well either in a lunchbox, backpack or even a shirt pocket. Treat yourself or a friend to something that will be loved, used and grow old with you. With use, wooden spoons like this develop a lovely aged patina.
