General Information

How To Use:

Design your spoon:
Decide on your preferred spoon shape and sketch the outline with a pencil. Carefully carve along the line using a craft knife or cutter. Take care not to injure yourself when using sharp tools.

Shape and smooth:
Once the rough shape is formed, sand the surface with No.150 sandpaper until the edges and spoon tip are smooth.

Refine the finish:
Continue sanding with No.240 and No.400 papers until the surface becomes completely smooth and even.

Apply beeswax:
Use a cloth to apply a thin, even layer of beeswax over the entire spoon, ensuring it’s lightly coated.

Final finish:
Wipe off any excess wax with a clean cloth, then leave the spoon to dry for 24 to 36 hours. Once dry, your handmade spoon is ready to use.
