Sapele spoon

This is certainly different from your other spoons. The handle adds a unique element to the piece.

Great looking spoon. The handle is fantastic.

Definitely a non-slip grip. Good job.

I was recently thinking about the handles on cooking utensils and why they weren’t fit to the hand. This is nice.
The fine neck at the base, is that sturdy or is this for lightweight spoon work? I’d be afraid of it breaking in two. (Assuming this is for using and not just for looking at)

And.. it’s gorgeous. Love the lines of the wood, the shape of the bowl and the unique design of the handle.

Thank you. I don’t make any of my spoons for use, they are intended as decorative items only. Therefore, I don’t usually take usage issues into consideration when making them. I would guess this spoon is sturdy enough to be used, as I do consider (very carefully) proportion when making them. I find that people have an expectation of what a thing should weigh, and if they pick an item up and it is lighter than expected, they will put it back down.

However, after purchased, the owner is free to do as they please!

Nice. I can see this spoon in my wife’s kitchen to be used to taste sauces for seasoning, or for me to steal a taste to quell the saliva flood from the savory odors coming off the stove top. Very elegant design. Special.
