Handcarved from English Elm, this spoon is full of character.
A mermaid kolrosing design, to bring a little feminine ocean magic to your day.
Kolrosing is an ancient Scandinavian technique to decorate the wood. A sharp knife cuts the design in by hand, and fill the cuts with a colour pigment (I use cinnamon) then burnish the wood to seal the design beneath the surface. Essentially a wood tattoo!
A real piece of treasure for the sea lovers and pirates out there.
In folklore, the Elm tree was used to scare away evil and supernatural beings that held negative intentions.
Completely carved by hand, using knife and axe. An ergonomic and perfectly fitting eating spoon.
English Elm from Gloucestershire, UK.
Measures approx 17cm tall.
Free UK postage.

Care Instructions
This is a hand carved wooden item and knife and tool marks may still be present. Please do not put wooden items in the dishwasher. Hand wash only with warm soapy water and leave to air dry. You may wish to oil your spoon every once in a while if it starts looking thirsty. A coat of food safe oil (tung oil, nut oils etc) will nourish the wood and keep it looking fresh.
