Forest Folk ~ The Three Faces of Fionn ~ Cooking Spoon

Fionn

Named after Fionn McCool, the bright one, hero, warrior, and defender of the Emerald Isle, Fionn had many faces. He spent his childhood in the dreaming forest. Fionn will fiercely protect your home while bringing art and poetry to life.

Hand carved using traditional methods, this functional yet beautiful cooking spoon is the perfect addition to your kitchen rituals. Carved with axe and knife, from locally sourced Cherry Wood, from Bath City UK. 

This is the perfect cooking and serving spoon for any cottage kitchen, great for risottos, pastas, broths and magic potions from the Earth. 

The design is a one-off unique piece of kolrosing. Kolrosing is an ancient Scandinavian technique of cutting the design into the wood, filling the cuts with colour pigment (I use cinnamon and tung oil) and burnishing to close the wood, trapping the colour pigment beneath the surface. Essentially a wood tattoo! 

Care: Do not put me in the dishwasher. Handwash in warm water and air dry naturally. The wood will take on natural oils and grow a lovely patina with use and may darken over time. That’s the charm of working with a natural material, forever evolving and changing. A little coat of oil now and then when it looks dry and thirsty can help… Tung oil, walnut oil, mineral oils and beeswax can be rubbed in lightly every 6-12months if desired, although not necessary if you prefer a natural look.
