Black Locust Spoon
Black Locust Spoon
This is one of only a few spoons I carved from a black locust tree that came down in a storm. The wood is insanely hard and will no doubt last a lifetime or three. I enjoy the slightly off center shape that reminds me of an elegant little shovel. Sanded smooth nearly everywhere.
Length: 10.25”
Bowl Width: 2 1/8”
Care + Finish
All of my spoons are finished with a pure raw linseed oil (not the linseed oil found in most hardware stores which has harmful additives in it).
Wash with warm soapy water. No dishwashers.
After months of use if they look dry, re-oil using a food safe oil such as walnut oil, flax oil, or mineral oil. Just wipe on with a cloth and let it sit out in the open to dry. Any excess the next day can be wiped off. This keeps them looking good and rinsing nicely over the years.
This is a soft and sculpted eating spoon with a splash of color. It has subtly wavy grain and this layer of crimson red that makes its simple shape come to life.
Sanded smooth finish
