Tudor 'Style' Spoon

[Kepis]

I made myself a new eating spoon this afternoon, and having grown rather fond of the ergonomics and overall feel and size of the Medieval style spoon, i thought i would make myself one in that style.

​

This one is approx 6" long, the bowl is 2" in diameter and the handle is 3/8" at it's thickest point

The spoon is made from a nice bit of Hazel that I've had in the workshop for some time, i took this down to the rough thickness i wanted with the draw knife and then carved out the shape with a Mora before refining the overall shape with my Sloyd knives, the spoon is un-sanded and features an octagonal tapered handle and the distinctive 'lollipop' shape of the Medieval style spoon

To finish the spoon i spent a bit of time smoothing off all of the tool marks with my pick knife to give a nice finish and once i was happy with the overall look and feel of it, i simply oiled it up with some Olive oil, all i need now is to wait until tomorrow morning so i can enjoy eating my Corn Flakes with it.

Your spoons always make me envious. Love that octagonal handle.

Nice spoon buddy, I much prefer that style to the modern one! Keep it up!

Can you make a fork for us to see?

Nice spoon Kepis. Thanks for sharing.

Samon, I don't think the guy insulting is real. If you click on his link, it looks like a spammer just trying to get attention.

Funnily enough, I was in BBC South East yesterday as Antiques Roadshow came on - I was close enough to the controls that I could have taken it off the air in the SE!!

Kepis, if you look at the second row down, far left spoon looks like a hexagonal handle.

Very nice spoon!
