Medieval Oak Bowl and Spoon 201D

Oak Ebonized Bowl  and Spoon   
This duo is a nod to the eating utensils of Medieval banqueting halls!  Solid, rich in colour and texture and made to last for generations. 
Handcarved, unique, deep bowl spoon , lovely light curved handle.  Burnished with greenstone and food safe oiled, 190mm L.
Bowl was hand/foot made on spring pole lathe. Ebonised on the inside to highlight the rustic surface left by the hook tools, exterior milk painted black over marigold, 155 x 140 x 65mm.
To get the ebonised affect steel wool is steeped in white vinegar and the chemical reaction makes a stain which reacts uniquely with different species of wood!
