Valentine's Day Bouquets
This year I used the quiet time between Christmas and Valentine's Day to carve some lovespoons for the 'last minute' Valentine's romantics. For the most part, I have kept the designs pretty traditional, although there are a couple of nice Celtic ones in the mix as well! If you want to give your sweetie something really nice that is hand made and VERY romantic, you won't do better than this. With prices ranging from 30 to 300 dollars, you won't break the bank and you'll be a total STAR!!

This romantic Celtic swirl design is carved from recycled old growth Douglas Fir milled from old bridge timbers. The arrow straight grain of the fir sets off the sweeping curves of the Celtic knotwork perfectly. This is a spoon for a real romantic!!
300 USD
I've said it before and I'll say it again; if you can find a toaster, plasma tv or box of chocolates ANYWHERE that comes even remotely close to the romance of one of my lovespoons, I'll lay down my tools and never cut another chip!!!!!
