The distinctive round bowl of this measuring scoop holds 10 g of coffee beans. The handle tapers downwards, making it both comfortable to hold and elegant to look at. The scoop can stand on any straight surface which gives it a sculpture-like touch.

Facing an enchanted garden, the tree grew opposite a patch of bamboo and a 20 year old peach tree. The wood when I arrived: freshly cut and wet from weeks of summer rain. Woodlice crawled away as I turned the logs to check for twists and knots.

When exposed to heat, cherry wood gets a warm and rich colour, just like this scoop. The generous bowl can be used for flour or cereals. Piece by piece, it is meticulously hollowed out by using a twca cam, a large hook knife, and then sanded to a very fine finish.

Each new project brings up new questions and many refinements along the way: Where to put the index finger? What is the most pleasant transition from blade to handle? Can the blade be bent evenly? With time, a simple piece of wood becomes an object for daily use.

The wood for both spoons comes from the orchards of my childhood. They often suffer from droughts and succumb to severe storms, many with overly ripe fruit hanging from gnarly, moss-covered branches. I took a few of the wind fallen pieces to give them a new, spoon-shaped life.

This small spoon for salt, sugar or dried herbs is a trusty companion in every kitchen. Ours lives in a little salt pot on the dining table and is being used everyday. The handle is carefully carved until it is very thin, making the spoon extremely light.

What is a hummus spoon, you ask? It has the ideal shape to get into every kind of bowl which makes it easy to prepare homemade dips like soft, golden hummus. The shape is inspired by a spoon made years ago in school, simple and functional.

A companion throughout the day. This eating spoon is used since two years and has developed a slight patina, signs that show that it is valued and needed. It tells stories of good food and company, of the meals it has served and the ingredients it has measured.

Great for frying vegetables in a wok, roasting nuts or flipping pancakes. This particular spoon shows a lovely sharp transition between heartwood and sapwood, placed intentionally in the center of the spatula. Each piece of wood requires full attention in order to do it justice.

A delicate, long-handled measuring spoon for tiny pinches of salt, sugar or spices. Probably the older sibling of the small salt spoon. It is a fiddly procedure to get the proportions just right, but so satisfiying when the piece is ready to be used.

Mirabelle

Splitting wood is always surprising, even more so when the inside looks as fantastic as this piece of old mirabelle. The red tones create a stark contrast to the lighter parts of the spoon. With its curved and vibrant grain, it is reminiscent of gnarly olive wood.

Wild Maple

A branch of maple wood, found discarded by the edge of a path. Every spoon starts to take shape here, on the chopping block. After splitting, the rough shape is axed out while more and more wood chips pile up around the workplace.

Set of seven spoons with long, thin handle. They all are knife finished and show the marks of the tools, only the inside of the bowl is sanded. Each one is finished differently. Some remained natural, some were baked and others ebonized with vinegar solution until they took on an almost black colour.

The shape of the bowl determines the use of the spoon. Each piece is finished with organic linseed oil to make it food safe.
