£59.95



Celtic Knotwork is a symbol of eternal love and the heart is a symbol of steadfast love. This spoon is an intricated display of fine craftsmanship.

Measurements are 9.5" length x 3" width x 0.5" depth.

Some of the early lovespoons can be seen on display at the Welsh Folk Museum in Cardiff. There is even one that dates back to 1667.

To make a Welsh Lovespoon, firstly the wood is selected and cut to a manageable size.  Next the design is drawn onto the wood and the basic shape of the spoon is cut out.

Once the spoon has been carved it is sanded three times with different grades of sandpaper and polished twice with beeswax.  "This is a painstaking way to finish a lovespoon" says master craftsman Paul Curtis, but it is the only way to achieve a quality smooth silky finish that the Welsh Lovespoon deserves.
