Welsh Love Spoons

The carving of Welsh Love Spoons is an ancient tradition. The origin is that a man would carve a spoon to give to his beloved. Using traditional symbols, he would communicate to his fiance what was important to him in a marriage. I started carving Welsh Love Spoons as part of my daughter’s wedding. Like the crosses that I have designed and make, each spoon is a wonderful vehicle that celebrates how we are fed in God’s love. Some are original designs. Some use traditional symbols.

The spoons are carved from white or yellow birch. They vary in size from 7½ inches to 12 inches. The beauty of some designs lies in their simplicity while others are complex and challenging. These spoons are not intended for eating. They are decorative. Each spoon is finished with 2 hand-rubbed application of tongue oil. They range in price from $30 to $75.
