Description
Hand carved from native New Zealand timber by Courtney Petley in Auckland, the Coffee Scoop is a simple, functional piece for measuring coffee beans or grounds, shaped to highlight the natural colour and grain of the timber.
Available in three individual timbers: Swamp Kauri, Swamp Kauri (Blue), and Tōtara, each with its own distinct colour and grain.
Swamp Kauri is an ancient New Zealand timber, preserved underground for thousands of years before being carefully recovered. This rare timber is prized for its stunning grain patterns, rich golden-brown hues, and remarkable stability. Each piece tells a story spanning millennia, making your scoop a truly unique piece.
Tōtara is a treasured native New Zealand timber, prized for its rich reddish-brown colour and exceptional durability. This timber has been valued by Māori for centuries for its strength and natural resistance to decay. Tōtara features beautiful straight grain and a warm, inviting tone that deepens with age, making each piece a connection to New Zealand's natural heritage.

- 【66】Courtney Petley
Courtney Petley is a self-taught woodworker based in Auckland, New Zealand, who found her passion for woodworking in 2014. Originally from the fashion industry, Courtney began carving with an axe, a knife and an old piece of Rimu floorboard, making her first kitchen utensil one winter evening. What started as a hobby grew into a full-time practice by 2017, expanding beyond kitchen utensils to include chopping boards, furniture, lighting and sculptural objects.
Working predominantly with reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, Courtney’s practice is grounded in an appreciation for functional design and the natural character of the wood. Each piece is made by hand, allowing the grain, colour, age and imperfections of the timber to remain an integral part of the finished object.
Courtney also shares her knowledge through spoon-making workshops, teaching others the hand-carving techniques that first began her own woodworking practice.
