Kosenka spoons

I’ve been away in the White Carpathian area of Czech Republic, taking part in a conservation project to manage 6ha of upland pasture for wild orchids using scythes. You can read about the mowing on scytherspace, my scythe blog.
All the volunteers ate communally from a field kitchen with a varied assortment of utensils so I took the chance to carve a couple of eating spoons from a piece of plum wood. We’d been enjoying the local slivovic – plum brandy – so this seemed a fitting choice of wood to use.
