I am a Welsh Love Spoon maker based in the South Wales Valleys. A love spoon is a wooden spoon carved and traditionally presented as a gift of romantic intent. The spoon was crafted to demonstrate the suitor's skills and capability to provide for his intended. The craft of love spoon carving dates back to the 17th century.
This little Celtic Dragon Love hot Spoon is made of local Apple that I collect from local landscapers and tree surgeons.
Height is 14cm approx.
Working time is 25 hours
With the exception of a scroll saw used to cut out the rough shape, all my spoons are hand-carved using knives and chisels and finished in my homemade spoon butter made from mineral oil and beeswax.
