A quaint little spalted beech wood teaspoon with a band of zinc coloured milk paint on the handle, perfect for a sugar bowl, spooning spices or any other spoon duties! Wooden teaspoons have the added bonus of not scratching your favourite cup/glass.

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, then a band of paint using old fashioned milk paint is applied, before my makers mark is 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.
