Norwegian Wedding Spoons

Norwegian Wedding Spoons My name is David Western and I hand carve traditional and modern Norwegian wedding spoons. Unfortunately I can no longer ship to the USA. Rest of world is ok.

My spoons are historically accurate, beautifully carved and exceptional value for money .

Thanks to Trump's tariffs and crazy shipping rules, I no longer ship my spoons to the U.S.A. It's a shame because there is a large Norwegian diaspora in the US who can no longer get my spoons for their weddings and special events. Sorry about that. I do have several finished and unfinished sets on hand but I am currently only shipping to Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia/NZ, South and Central America and Antarctica. Hopefully, one day common sense will once again prevail and shipping can return to normal.

This one's a non-traditional but still pretty traditional Viking style Norwegian wedding spoon. This set was carved from an old recycled cabinet door panel. It's got a gorgeous tone and the wood is exceptional. It depicts a pair of Vikings along with their cuddly support dragons. A very rare and unusual set for sure!!

I've got several sets of Norwegian wedding spoons ready for wedding season. If you are in the market for a set, NOW is the time to get in touch with me. I'll be posting a bunch of them over the next few days. I have some very traditional ones AND some not so traditional ones for those with a bit more of an independent streak!

These two sets of Norwegian wedding spoons carved in willow wood are currently available if you know someone getting married soon. The large set is 400USD and the small set is 350USD (both +shipping). They are both 'fully loaded' sets with glibber faces, kolrosed bowls, intricately detailed chains and space on the backs for initials if desired. They're gorgeous spoons that carry on a rich tradition!!!

This lovely little Norwegian style spoon was carved for an anniversary rather than a wedding. It features a fusion style handle that incorporates both Welsh and Scandinavian symbols and motifs as well as a lovely Norwegian style chain link and sailors anchor. Each of the links in the chain contains a family member's initial. This is a seriously romantic spoon!

Although many of these sets have already sold, I do have a few on hand for those who may have left ordering their wedding spoons a bit late!!

Not all Norwegian wedding spoons feature double bowls joined by a length of wooden chain. As this little facsimile of a museum piece illustrates, they can be single bowled and much simpler in design. I really love the little linked blocks at the crown which I think are VERY romantic and symbolic! Lots of room on this one for some personalization on the handle!!

In the old days, young men would go to extraordinary lengths to carve elaborate, courting and wedding spoons. No effort was spared and the spoons were often extravaganzas of frivolity, frippery, uselessness and sheer unbridled passion. Although it may seem like a dead art today, in the words of Miracle Max, it's "only MOSTLY dead."

This wedding spoon isn't Norwegian, but it is a riff on the same idea. Some lovely Celtic knot work AND perfect bowls for eating lots of cake at the ceremony!!
