Hand-Carved Welsh Love Spoons — A Living Tradition in Wood
Price range: $110.00 through $250.00

Sar carves for relaxation. He often creates Handcrafted Welsh Love Spoons. What is a Welsh Love Spoon?
For centuries, Welsh suitors have carved love spoons. They present them as tokens of love and devotion. Each symbol carved into the handle carries its own meaning: Hearts mean love, vines mean growing together, Celtic knots mean eternity, chains mean binding, and keys mean the home. The intricate openwork handles require the artisan to remove wood from inside a single piece without splitting it. This skill can take decades to master; however, the result is a handle that looks impossibly delicate yet is remarkably strong.
Sar carries the tradition forward with each love spoon he carves, creating something that is both a historical artifact and a deeply personal gift. These are his relaxation challenges. He carves other spoons and many other things, but they are different. He increases his challenges each time, and while he works within the tradition, he also brings who he is to each one.
Welsh love spoons make unforgettable gifts for weddings, anniversaries, engagements, Valentine's Day, or any occasion where you want to give something that will be treasured for a lifetime. They look equally at home hung on a wall as a piece of folk art or handed down through a family as an heirloom. However, at Sarkanys Rising, our goal is to produce functional art. Therefore, we finish these spoons with our food-safe wood butter. You will receive a container with your order.
