A Quiet Winter Drop: Four New Spoons for the Season

December 07, 2025 by Ashley Look in Wood

There’s a lot going on right now, even if it’s been quieter here on the surface.

While the end of the year often turns toward rest, carving is still happening and I wanted to share that with a small, holiday release. Four new spoons have quietly joined the shop. Each one explores a slightly different gesture, bowl shape, and handle, but they all live comfortably in the same family of warm woods, grounding forms, and tools meant to be used.

This isn’t a big launch. It’s more of a reminder that the spoon world keeps moving even during a pause, and this season brought some new styles worth noticing.

These four pieces offer:

  • A mix of functions and designs

  • Subtle shifts in shape thanks to integrating new carving tools

  • The use of warmer woods that feel especially right this time of year; rich, calm, and tactile

If you’re looking for a holiday gift that doesn’t feel disposable (or consumerist-y loud), a hand-carved wooden spoon does that quiet work well. And if these particular shapes aren’t the ones that speak to you, there are several other spoons already in the shop. The collection is always evolving, and winter is a good time to choose something meant to last.

Stay cozy,

Ashley
