The earliest surviving example, displayed in the Welsh Folk museum in Cardiff, is dated around 1667, although the tradition  dates back long before that.  Love spoons are now  given to commemorate weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, christenings and many other special occasions. Using my own designs, I carve traditional and one-off  love spoons out of lime wood, an indigenous species used for centuries for wood carving. All spoons are hand made by myself, using my own designs and finished to the highest quality using three grades of sandpaper then polished and waxed. Inside my shop you will find both  traditional and more contemporary designs for sale or you could commission a bespoke love spoon for that special day.  Current delivery times are  approx. 2-3 weeks , 4-5 weeks for commissions . If you need it sooner then please let me know as I can usually fit you in.
