“The son of a wood turner, travelling to craft shows, you'd be suprised that I decided to follow in my dad's footsteps. After all, there's little money in it and in the Summer I can often work seven day weeks! But it's my way of life and I enjoy it. Carving love spoons gives other people pleasure which in turn makes me proud of the work that I do ”
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.
Choose a design from my love spoon gallery or have a lovespoon individually commissioned for a special occaision. When designing lovespoons I like to make them 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 lovespoons 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 15 years, a craft that I learned from my father.
Order or commission a love spoon for Valentine's Day to tell your partner or wife how much you really love her.
Besom Brooms
Besom making is a seasonal job: I spend summer making besom brooms at shows and in frost and cold of winter I gather the materials - birch ash and hazel - ready for the following year. Besoms are the ideal brush for all your garden needs.
Wood Jewellery
I turn wooden pendants and earrings from a range of interesting woods.
