About the object: Hergen Böttcher's sugar spoon is hand-turned and carved. And of course made of wood from northern Germany. With a length of approx. 14 cm, the spoon is about as long as a teaspoon and can also be used for jams, preserves, mustard or many other things that are placed on the table or in the kitchen. As long as we still eat sugar, we call the spoon a sugar spoon. And honestly, a fine sugar spoon like this sweetens the taste even when serving. Less is more! Did you know that the front, slightly curved part of a spoon is also called the bowl? We didn't.
Production: The product is made from fruit or garden wood, which is almost exclusively sourced from private gardens in the Bremen area, the surroundings of Hergen Böttcher's workshop. The wood dries for several years before the objects are carved out of the wood. Hergen Böttcher selects the wood individually for each object and turns and carves by hand in such a way that the special characteristics of the tree's life remain visible: Color changes between heartwood and sapwood as well as ingrown knots. Growths or natural discolorations can give the pieces unique structures . Deformations or cracks are signs of the drying process and are just as intentional as long as they do not impair the function of the object.
