Hand carved honey spoon (British sycamore)

Pale, luminous and completely unique. No two are the same.

This spoon was carved by hand from sycamore grown in a farmer's woodland near Tenterden in Kent — wood that's been sustainably managed by the same family for generations. Sycamore has a natural luminosity to it, pale and light-catching, and Amy works with each piece individually, adjusting her carving to the wood's own character and grain. The yellow painted band is the finishing touch — simple and completely distinctive.

Shallow enough for a proper mouthful, not so deep it becomes unwieldy. Wonderful for honey straight from the jar, equally good for yoghurt, puddings or anything else worth savouring. A lovely thing to own and a particularly special gift for a child — the kind of object they'll keep long after they've grown up.

Made exclusively for Hive & Keeper. 

Amy is a green woodworker based in Sussex. Green woodworking means working with wood that still has moisture in it, using hand tools — kinder on the hands, and it means Amy can source wood directly from tree surgeons and woodland managers rather than buying pre-cut timber from a sawmill. Every piece she makes is a direct product of the landscape it came from.
