Hand-carved Welsh love spoons

Welsh love spoons have been given as love tokens since the 17th century. Using my own designs, I carve traditional and unique love spoons out of lime: an indigenous species used for centuries for wood carving.

To view my range of lovespoons for sale please look in my lovespoon shop. If you would prefer to have a one-off spoon carved to your requirements then please look in my gallery of commissioned spoons. I like to makespoons that are personal to you, so as well as the more traditional symbols I can include unusual ideas to make your love spoon a unique and special gift to treasure forever.

My love spoons are sent worldwide with many going to the USA, Australia and Canada as well as the UK. I have been carving love spoons for over 18 years, a craft that I learned from my father. Order or commission a love spoon for a summer wedding, anniversary or birthday and give a truly unique gift.

Besom Brooms

I began making besoms 20years ago when I was 18 and have been making them ever since. The birch for the heads is cut in the winter months when the the leaves are absent and the sap level is much reduced. The handles are made from coppiced hazel and occaisionally ash by carefully selecting the straightest rods.

Besoms are the ideal brush for all your garden needs. They sweep away the leaves (even off gravel) and wormcasts. You can sweep in hard to get to corners and cracks in between paving .

Wood Jewellery

I turn wooden pendants and earrings from a range of interesting woods. Most of the woods are britsh and have been made from larger logs that I have sliced up and dried out in my workshop.

I like to use woods that have and interesting grain such as burrs or spalted wood (wood that has been patterned by the action of  fungi but that has not begun to rot). I do also use a few tropical hardwoods such as purple heart and cocobola as they have no equivalent looking  british wood. All my earings have sterling silver loops.
