Well... My mother got married for second time last friday and, since I don't have a lot of money, I made this for her and her new husband as a wedding gift. I hope they will enjoy a lot of fun with them because it seems very difficult to eat with them
The spoons are made from basswood and impregnated with an olive oil. They are carved from one piece of wood, mostly with my Swiss army knife, I only used a small u-shaped chisel to deepen the eating part of the spoon, and "polished" with a sand paper. They are little bit massive; of course, they could be thinner and finer but basswood isn't very hard, so if they were thinner, somebody could easily bite off part of it
(It happened to me - a friend of mine destroyed two of mine spoons (bought ones)). The top part of both spoons was supposed to be in a shape of a heart but the wood was too thin.
Actually, it is the first spoon I have ever carved... And also the second one
