They are gorgeous - your work is turning into art rather than skill!
I would love to see some larger spoons being made - I really struggle to find cooking gear in the 18" to 24" range - but with brewing, bulk cooking and preserving, such things are needed!

Cheers chaps.
@BR - ive just finished a rather large and bulky spoon that's over 30cm in length on a commission for a lady with arthritic hands, she wanted a spoon with a thick, wide handle, purely so she could hold it properly when making preserves, she said the same thing about the lack of big spoons being available - so watch this space in the new year

This is a larger spoon i made as a Christmas gift for one of the landowners i deal with, the spoon is a bit smaller at 12" in length than the 18" to 24" you speak of, but i do enjoy making the larger spoons, so you never know what might turn up in the post one day
That looks great Mark!
For me its not size of bowl but length of shaft (ooh err) thats the problem - imagine stirring up pans of this size with a normal spoon (20 and 25 litres)

That lovely spoon you gave me is used all the time for chutneys, soup making and even chilli - but its simply not long enough for these jobs. The worst is beer and wine making which happens in five gallon containers - I have one very rough commercial spoon thats long enough and some horrid plastic paddles that flex
Would love to see what you get up to in this area - I'm sure there would be a ready market in both home brew and self sufficiency communities - so don't be sending them to me - you could easily sell them
Have a great break - and and please pass our seasonal greetings to Simon - who we still owe a days shooting to!
