Description
Hand carved from a single piece of blue-toned Swamp Kauri by Courtney Petley in Auckland, the Moon Spoon combines a deep spoon bowl with a spherical handle, bringing two simple geometric forms together within the timber.
The bowl has a flat base, allowing the piece to sit independently on a table and move between uses as a serving spoon, small bowl or dish.
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. This particular Swamp Kauri has developed a distinctive soft golden-blue hue.

- 【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.
