Handmade honey dipper B

These honey dipper are hand turned by my buddy. He lives in a South Derbyshire hamlet in the National Forest.

 

This batch of dippers are turned from timber provided by a Beech tree that was blow down in a storm.

 

Each dipper is unique. My chum has no idea or the will to make dippers to a precise pattern. He turns the pattern as the fancy takes him. He finishes each one with my spoon butter. It gives a gentle lustre.

 

These dipper may, at first glance, appear expensive. However each one is hand crafted, beautifully executed and finished. They are also unique. My chum seem incapable of making two identical pieces and long may that continue. Each dipper gives the tree from which it came a second life.
