Oak Teaspoon – Jeff Fryett

Oak has long been prized for its strength, character, and enduring beauty. With its warm honey-brown tones and distinctive grain, it lends itself perfectly to everyday objects made to be used and appreciated. In Jeff Fryett’s hands, this humble piece of timber becomes a beautifully balanced teaspoon, carved slowly and thoughtfully using only an axe, sloyd knife, and hook knife.

Each spoon is carefully burnished with a smooth river pebble before being sealed with a food-safe curing oil, enhancing the natural richness of the Oak while creating a silky, tactile finish that only improves with use.

Perfect for stirring tea or coffee, serving condiments, or enjoying every day, this handcrafted teaspoon celebrates the beauty of simple craftsmanship and sustainably sourced New Zealand timber.
