Teaspoon – Jeff Fryett

Hand-Carved Wooden Teaspoon

Simple, functional, and beautifully crafted, this hand-carved wooden teaspoon reflects Jeff Fryett’s appreciation for traditional woodworking and the quiet satisfaction of making everyday objects by hand. Using only an axe, sloyd knife, and hook knife, each spoon is carefully shaped to highlight the natural character of the timber and create a piece that feels balanced and comfortable to use.

The surface is burnished with a smooth river pebble before being sealed with a food-safe curing oil, resulting in a silky finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty while protecting it for everyday use.

Ideal for stirring tea or coffee, serving spices, or adding a handcrafted touch to the kitchen, this teaspoon is a small but thoughtful example of New Zealand craftsmanship.
