Pear spoon auction for DEC donations

[punkrockcaveman]

Hi guys! Huge thanks to the moderators for allowing this to happen- hopefully it will make even a small difference to the crisis going on in Ukraine.

This is a thread for the Auction of 4 pear spoons lovingly carved by myself, you can find individual thread for each of the spoons in the traditional crafts section. Here they are side by side:




All the proceeds from the auction will go to the DEC (disasters emergency committee) currently the charity that is displayed on the gov website for donations. They divvy the donations up between established charities such as the British Red Cross. I'm having trouble linking it in this post I'll edit and and it if I can. The gov will also match the donation too so with gift aid on top it makes quite a difference.

I've never ran an auction before so I guess we just need someone to open the bidding by replying to the thread? Start at £10 maybe? I'll cover uk postage.

The Auction will end at 9.00pm Monday the 7th Feb.

Cheers!

Thanks for the bids folks

It's a worthy cause.

Just one thing to note is you've not put a time for the auction to finish. You might get one or two lurkers wanting to put a last minute bid in

@punkrockcaveman Thank you so much.
I got home late last night to find they had been delivered. The photos really don't do these justice. They feel amazing in the hand and are beautiful.
