Jenkins Lovespoons

by Blake's Practical Applications

Welcome to the Home of Jenkins Lovespoons!

Jenkins Lovespoons are individually designed and hand-made in my private studio near Columbus, Ohio. Primarily, I've been making Welsh Lovespoons, but I also offer small wood turnings and some textile arts and crafts, among other things. Jenkins Lovespoons are the primary product of my little company: Blake's Practical Applications, LLC.

I spend most of my available time working on commissions, and would love to design and carve a lovespoon, or make some other special item for you! Please email any questions or comments HERE.

Big News

I have been honored, once again, to have been invited by David Western to work with him on a lovespoon for Americymru's West Coast Eisteddfod! You can see pictures and read about our progress on David Western's BLOG, and you can even have a chance at winning the spoon we create by following the instructions to make a donation to the Meriwether Lewis Memorial Eisteddfod Foundation at Americymru.net! I'm so excited to be working with Dave again, and to help support a worthy cause! Also, check out my BLOG, to see what else is keeping me busy - or at least, what else I may have scraped up a few minutes to write about.

WHAT'S NEXT:

(see my EVENTS page for further details)

While the Welsh Lovespoon may have originated as a romantic courtship gift, today it makes a wonderful gift for practically any special occasion where a heartfelt gift is warranted. It's certainly very popular as a wedding, anniversary or Valentine's Day, birthday, or other holiday gift, but also as a gift for a housewarming, the arrival of a new child, a retirement, or even no occasion at all, but just a celebration of a friendship, or a reminder of one's heritage. Many people even have a collection, and may have a wall-full of lovespoons on display in their homes, waiting to be handed down through the next generations. Have a look over at the About page to read a little more about the story of the Welsh Lovespoon Tradition and its Symbolism.

Thank you for visiting - please come again soon!
