With its small bowl and robust shield shape, this cooking spoon is perfect for stirring, mixing, and serving. Its versatile design makes it ideal for a range of cooking tasks, from simmering sauces to tossing ingredients.

Crafted for durability and strength, this spoon brings both practicality and unique character to your kitchen. Finished with a food-safe milk paint, it’s built to last and add a touch of rustic charm to your cooking routine.

Source: 
Sustainably sourced from locally grown trees in South Devon, UK. The trees I carve almost always grew within a 20 mile radius from my workshop, meaning very little carbon footprint from tree to spoon. These spoons are hand carved with 3 hand tools: an axe, hook knife and straight knife from log to spoon.

Spoon Care:
This spoon is designed to be cooked with and well used - don't be afraid to use it on a daily basis! The only thing to avoid is putting it in the dishwasher, or leaving it to soak in the washing up bowl.

I always make sure my spoons are bone dry before putting them away in the drawer.

To give the spoon a new lease of life from time to time you can add a coat of flax oil, walnut oil (careful of nut allergies) or organic linseed oil, but this is not essential.
