Celtic Knots and Welsh Spoons
I first started carving Welsh Love Spoons for our daughter’s wedding in 2008. This evolved into carving individual Celtic Knots. Like the crosses that I have designed and made, each spoon or knot is a wonderful vehicle that celebrates how we are woven into a beautiful design. The points of intersection where the ‘life-line’ overlaps (where relationships are created) is where the story of each design is expressed. Some are original designs. Some use traditional symbols.
The knots and spoons are made of white birch. Most pieces are carved on both the front and back. Many of the designs allow for variations that can be adjusted meet the need for various occasions – just contact me for adjustments. The pieces are finished with several coats of hand-rubbed tung oil. When there is an insert added to the piece, those are finished with a clear lacquer.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions, wish to have modifications to a particular design or have an idea for a new piece.
Viking Heart Knot
This is a design that a friend of mine saw while visiting a museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was carved into ancient Viking ship. I modified it a bit so that the lines flow a bit better. This complex infinity knot reflects the twists and turns that two people experience while on life’s journey. It is 5 x 5.5 inches and is carved on both sides. It is made of white birch and finished with tung oil. The Viking Heart Knot: $100
Woven Hearts Spoon (variation of a traditional design)
Within the lines of this spoon and knot, there is a gracefulness to their flow at is both soothing and hopeful. At first glance, it appears that the two lines create each heart – with each heart linked one to the other. Yet, as one follows the lines what is revealed is a deeper interconnection with each line helping to create a part of each heart. The message, we are connected one with another at a deep and profound levels. The length is 10 inches. Woven Hearts Spoon: $85
