Thanks for this, who would have thought almost 12 years I started this thread and we are now at over 12,000 posts, goodness knows how many gifts this has provided. I’m still humbled by the generosity shown by my friends here in our bushcraft community.

I have just the item to offer, however I will leave it till tomorrow though when I can take a photo in the light before I post ;)

Appologies, I was (naively) expecting daylight today...... but have had to resort to turning on the light in my office this morning!

Anyway my offer is a carved olivewood ladle. I bought it a few years ago in a craft sale but could never bring myself to use it, it was too nice! - It still smells georgeous and as I say has never been used. The keyboard gives a sense of scale (is just over 12" long and the bowl about 3" x 3" and 1.5" deep) and the colour is (remarkably) quite accurate.

Yes please Graham, if still available.

I'll dig something out in the next day or so.

We have one of these. They look gorgeous but ours leaked through the grain at the bottom of the bowl. I sealed it by rubbing thin superglue all over and any cracks had baking powder rubbed in first. Then a quick rub down with fine sandpaper.
It's just over 2 years old now and still looks as good. Even more impressive is that it has served beetroot soup once a week for that time and isn't stained purple :oops:
