New design by Bob Pedigo - we have the pleasure of carving one of Bob's Love Spoon designs every February! This year he was inspired by the ND State Flower, the Prairie Rose. He brought examples showing different stages of carving.

Some examples of lovespoons for you this morning! While gifting wooden household objects inscribed with initials is common, the Welsh tradition of spoon-carving with specific meanings is quite unique.

One of the earliest known surviving examples of these intricately carved tokens dates back to the mid-17th century.
