Couple of Hawthorn Spoons

[Leiflet]

Speaks for itself, really. The smaller one was meant to have a long, curvy handle, but suffered from some catstrophic splitting.





I've got a few more bits of hawthorn, but it's proving to be slow work. Satisfying, though. Just come by a little bit of mulberry, too. Anyone have experience of it? Any good?

Cheers,
Leif

Nice and interesting... I know what you mean about the splitting tho....

 

[HHazeldean]

Oh that long one is Nice! Really like the more organic shape of those, very nice! Tragic about the splitting though that's always immensely frustrating.

Love the long one. Most spoons are far too short for the work I do so I love a long spoon

 

[Macaroon]

The Hawthorn is such nice wood, eh?................The big one looks as though you intend to sup with the devil, perhaps?

 

[Harvestman]

Beautiful wood, beautiful spoons.

 

[Monikieman]

Yup. the long one is a beauty. Nice work.

 

[Leiflet]

The big one's going to a charity auction.

Cheers,
