Birch Wood Long handled Teaspoon

A chip carved long handled Birch wood teaspoon with turquoise handle in milk paint, perfect for stirring a travel cup or tall latte glass! Wooden teaspoons have the added bonus of not scratching your favourite cup/glass. And the long handles are also rather adept at getting that last bit of jam from the bottom of the jar, without sticky fingers! The spoon has been made from a freshly cut (greenwood) log which was locally sourced. It has been shaped 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, a coat of Providence old fashioned milk paint and then decorative chip carve design before having my makers mark burned on. It was then sealed using organic food grade linseed oil. This spoon makes a wonderful daily use item. 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. Spoon care- Hand wash using soap and water and leave to air dry. Avoid long soaks in water and never wash in a dishwasher. Your spoon will be dispatched to you in recycled, eco-friendly and plastic-free packaging.
