A "love spoon" was a sign of affection given by a young man to a young woman and recorded examples from Europe date back to the 1600s. The complexity of the design would showcase the young maker's skill and these are more an ornamental artpiece than the most useful eating spoon. This version makes a celtic-themed love spoon by attaching the pattern to the wooden block and carving along the lines.
