Unique hardwood spoons

Giles Newman He carves wooden spoons using traditional methods, hand tools and wood from his own land. I say wooden spoons by their shape, but his spoons look like little works of art.

Their use in the kitchen is not excluded because they are designed as spoons and specially treated with natural oil. But its designs are particular, and very delicate ones are more worth protecting than subjecting to everyday use.

Even when he sets out to carve a simple spoon he can't resist the temptation to complicate the design a little and create something more complex. It is impressive how he manages to create such fine and delicate spoons by carving a hardwood with an axe and a knife.

They work for about three days on a piece of oak, birch or maple to create a one-of-a-kind spoon.

Several designs can be seen on his personal website and if you're interested in buying or just seeing the value, go to his shop page. He claims he doesn't go back on designs so that each one remains unique.

If you like wooden spoons, in Campulung Moldovenesc there is Museum of Wooden Ingots, a place full of history that the Mateescu family is waiting for you to visit.
