This spoon, inspired by traditional Scandinavian designs, features a generous curve that allows for easy scooping. It is made using the green woodworking technique, carved from fresh logs with an axe and knife. Combining both beauty and functionality, it is a piece of eating ware with a long history.

 

The main material comes from small-diameter trees harvested during forest management activities in which I personally participate. Even though the wood is felled, it is still alive.I believe that "understanding the place where the wood has grown for a long time is important in the making process," and this is where the creation of HÖBAL SPOON begins – by visiting the forest.

I also cherish the distortions and the knots or bark marks that are the evidence of the life the wood has lived through the drying process. Above all, the curves that emerge as the fresh wood dries are breathtakingly beautiful.

In today’s world, where there are many convenient machines and easily accessible processed materials, I continue to create with fresh wood and hand tools. By carefully handling fresh wood, I listen to its voice. Rather than controlling the wood as a material, I see it as a companion, a fellow living on Earth with whom I create the piece.

A single spoon can serve not only the main dish but also soup and dessert. If you scoop with this slightly larger spoon, your daily meals might be just a little different, in the best way.
