Create your very own handcrafted spoon from Japanese Hinoki (cypress) with this delightful DIY kit - a perfect blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and relaxation.

Each set includes a roughly shaped wooden block, sandpaper in three grades, beeswax, and cloth for finishing. All you need is a small carving or craft knife to bring your design to life.

Beautifully packaged and easy to enjoy, this kit makes a thoughtful gift for craft enthusiasts or a relaxing weekend project for yourself.

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.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
