In these days of mass-produced gifts, people are searching for Romantic gift Ideas that are unique as gifts of love for special people in their lives, and a Welsh Love Spoon is the perfect answer.
The custom of carving and giving Welsh Lovespoons originated in Wales hundreds of years ago. The young men of today would probably buy flowers, chocolates or jewellery as a token of affection. Centuries ago in Wales, the young lover would give a special, more personal gift to the object of their desire, the Welsh Love Spoon.
The wood usually used is Limewood sourced from Monmouthshire, south Wales. The wood is pale in colour and very uniform in character. It is lighter and easier to carve than walnut or oak, it is easily worked, and has very little grain. Next the design is drawn onto the wood and the basic shape of the spoon is cut out. Once he has hand carved the spoon it is sanded three time with different grades of sandpaper and polished twice with beeswax before being engraved.
