To recap the 12 Days of Ice Cream, so far our daily gifts have been an ice cream pillow, ice cream crayons, an ice cream magnet, ice cream greeting cards, an ice cream ring, a pint cozy, and a baby sweater with an ice cream cone on it. We’ll choose our daily winners at the end of the celebration, so if you’d like to put your name in the running for any of those prizes, feel free to revisit them and leave a comment.
Speaking of leaving a comment, you’ll definitely want to add yourself to the list of potential recipients for today’s 12 Days of Ice Cream gift — a hand-crafted bocote wood ice cream scoop. The Etsy seller who made this beautiful kitchen accessory, whose store is aptly named Craftiness, describes the scoop like this:
Scoop your ice cream with elegance and flair with this attractive and unusual scoop. Features attractive and durable Gold Titanium plating, gunmetal chrome accents, and a convenient thumb rest for easier scooping. Includes an attractive Gold TN plated end cap. With lathe-turned handle of exotic Bocote, this scoop that will last for years to come.
As you can see in the photo above (look closely, and you might be able to see the photographer), bocote is a beautiful wood, which is why it’s prized by woodworkers worldwide. More information about bocote wood can be found here. And if you’re wondering how to say the name of the wood, there are many variations, but the common pronunciation is “ba-KO-tay.”
We”ll choose one comment from all the comments left on this entry to receive this handy hand-me-down. And since an ice cream scoop is no fun without some ice cream, we’ll throw in some free Turkey Hill ice cream, too. Good luck!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

A lovely scoop for some Turkey Hill ice cream!
Scooping the bocote way
Is great for my turkey hill
And day!
OH MY GOD, I have to win this!! my husband eats ice cream every singly night (currently his flavor is the awesome whoopie pie ice cream by turkey hill!) He broke one of his ice cream scoops recently and has been so upset we now only have one. This super fancy scoop would brighten him up considerably!!
Can’t think of a better way to scoop great ice cream than with a beautiful scooper!
This ice cream scoop almost looks too fancy to use…almost.
What a nice scoop. Reminds me of my Grandparents. My Grandpa had a little bowl of ice cream every night. He would have loved this hand-crafted bocote wood ice cream scoop.
My ice cream scoop is on it’s last leg…this would be perfect!
this is so beatiful i would love to win this
I love the scoop and would love to use it to scooop out my flavorful black raspberry ice cream.
Finally a wonderful piece of utensil to go with my favorite Turkey Hill ice creamSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
With the amount of scooping we do this will come in very handy
An elegant scoop for an elegant dessert!
This is so beautuful and reminds me of when I was a child and my grandfater would give us kids ice cream cones with his special scoop. He was the only one allowed to touch that scoop and it has been long gone now. Wow that just brought back a rush of childhood memories.
Very very nice scoop. Would love to have this considering I don’t own an ice cream scoop. A regular spoon works great for eating right out of the container, but not for serving guests!
Love this!
Kewl!!!
That looks to be a really nice scoop!
I would be proud to scoop my favorite Turkey Hill ice cream with this scoop!
love it!!!
I love this ice cream scooper. Such a neat wood handle.
Oh, it is beautiful. Would love to win this. I need a new scoop because the one I had broke. Can’t get out to get another one. Just got out of the hospital with AFib and my husband has MS. That would be soooo perfect.
That would be great in the summertime when scooping ice cream for the kids. Look out Tupperware, here comes elegance!
Looks almost too nice to use! My hubby would to scoop ice cream with this work or art.

I absolutely love this ice cream scoop!
This is the perfect scoop for the person who has cold hands already because of poor hand circulation—–thas also the scoop

Here’s the scoop on the ice cream scooper–it’s a beautiful gift!
What a BEAUTIFUL scoop and I can see the photographer. However, when store seller “Craftyness” descibes the scoop “With lathe-turned handle of exotic Bocote, this scoop that will last for years to come” does he really know the workout that a Turkey Hill ice cream lover will give it? I would love to challenge the “years” with this spectacular scoop.
This ice cream scoop
Is a real treasure.
It will surely help to scoop
Turkey Hill Ice Cream
To a perfect Measure.
I look forward to visiting this site each day. The gifts keep getting better and better.
My favorite way to eat ice cream is with a spoon straight from the carton.
If I won this scooper, I could act more civilized and scoop ice cream into a bowl.
Or, better yet…..I could use the scooper as my spoon and still eat directly from the carton.
Yes!
If I won this scooper, that is exactly what I would do!
this is sooooo nice. I’m not sure if I would use it or put it in with my collection.
Scooping with Style. Love it!
This is a very nice scoop. Will it work with Turkey Hill ice cream? I surely would like to try.
this scoop is worth winning for the Gold Titanium plating, I wonder how elegant it works?
This scoop is a work of art, perfect for fabulous Turkey Hill!
Nice, we could always use another scooper:) Just bought two cartons today: Double dunker (absolute best flavor ever) and mint chip! We love it!!!!
We have broken several ice cream scoops; Turkey Hill is worth it, though.
thats one fine looking scoop i would so proud to own that scoop . on the 8th day of christmas my husband gave to me 8 turkey hill ice cream scoops ho ho ho
At long last, a scoop with gold worthy for the gold standard of ice cream, Turkey Hill.
NIIIICEEEE

What a way to scoop ice cream in style!

What an awesome looking ice cream scoop!! Since I still use an ordinary serving spoon to dish out ice cream, this would be a treasured prize. Thanks Turkey Hill for finding Mr. Lindquist and his cool wood work. : )
What a lovely piece of work.
What a class way to deliver a classic ice cream flavor from Turkey Hill!
If I was a scoop you bet I’d choose Turkey hill to serve friends and family!

While I eat my ice cream straight out of the container with a spoon this beautiful scoop would be great for serving Turkey Hill to guests!
This is really nice and so much fancier than other scoops I’ve seen!
I could really use a nice scoop like that!
Purchased Vanilla Bean Ice Cream because guests were coming last night for a holiday get-together. They would have been impressed with that scoop. Very expensive looking. I would have been proud to have served ice cream with that beautiful scoop.
would love to receive this spoon. ( I guess you know that the handle “bocte” wood comes from the Rain Forest ) That would work b/c I like Vanilla ice cream & it would go good w/the vanille Bean from the Rain Forest . Thanks
I like the wood, but not the metal.
Love the wooden scoop. Would be great to scoop my Turkey Hill ice cream!!!
Yes, just think, with this scooper I could get a new set of spoons, and may silverware drawer would finally close. Oh what fun it is to ride…………… Happy Holidays to all!
Whoops, I forget the “be”, in may. Here comes Santa Claus!
I could really go for some Turkey Hill right now after a long day of work! yummm
It looks as rich as Turkey hill Ice Cream
Such a gorgeous way to scoop up some delicious Turkey Hill ice cream!
That’s an awesome scoop for ice cream!
I would LOVE to have that with my Turkeyhill Icecream
What a cool scoop!
Now this is a great adult prize! Love it! I’d leave it on the counter as a beautiful decoration (so it’ll have two uses!)
now that is one classy scoop for some turkey hill classic ice cream.
FANCY!
That is one beautiful piece of artwork. I’m not sure I’d use it scoop ice cream–I might just hand it on the wall. Also I’m not sure it can replace the scoop my son gave me for Mothers Day a few years ago. It was accompanied by a note that said, “Happy Mothers Day, Mom! I hope you like this, but if it turns out to be a piece of junk–it only cost a dollar.” Needless to say, I still have the scoop and the note.
For those who don’t eat straight out of the container…
This snazzy tool is only for REAL ice cream junkie…ME!!
What a fancy ice cream scoop. I love it!
How classy and elegant;just like Turkey Hill. I would be proud to own this scoop.
Wow! This ice cream scoop is a great prize. The ice cream scoops that I have used do not last. They get pitted or they break.
Oooohh, so fancy!! I love it!!
This is neat! I’ve never seen anything like this.
To scoop or not to scoop!! This would get a lot of use at our house. Its the scoop of the century!!
Who wouldn’t want this fancy scoop? Together with Turkey Hill ice cream they would make a great pair.
Such a great prize, I would love to win!
Ohhh, what a nice ice cream scoop!

Merry Christmas Turkey Hill. This would be a nice birthday gift for me since I bend to many spoons getting your ice cream out. I did that yet again when I ate ice cream with my birthday cake. I love your ice cream very much.
My ice cream should have the royal treatment with that scoop.
NICE! This is a very interesting utensil to own. I must have it. You guys over there are giving away some great prizes. And ice-cream for me to scoop with the new scooper? Even better.
I’ve been wanting to toss my old scoop for some time now. This would be a welcome and beautiful replacement for a necessity in my home.
Wow, just like Turkey Hill, classy and quality.
This looks sturdy enough to last forever–even at my house.
LOVE IT!

Too pretty to use – would need to display this for all to see
WOW! Having an ice cream scoop like this means you need to host an ice cream sundae party so everyone can see your fancy scoop! I bet the ice cream tastes better when scooped with a fancy scoop instead of just the one I bought at the dollar store!
Beautiful scoop to go with beautiful ice cream.

Beautiful scoop, and i am sure it will make Turkey Hill ice cream taste richer.
Wow, look at the natural grain!
Snazzy!
Opening the freezer with this scoop in hand..
Would be like playing a melody on your “Mickey Mouse” keyboard..and then promptly graduating to a “Baby Grand”!
No longer plastic scoops that are broken in two!
Or a metal spoon bent scooping almost in two!
An elegant scoop, ice cream that I savor.
Smoothly dishing out… your AWESOME “Turkey Hill” flavor.
If I win this scoop- you will make my day!
Oh elegant ice cream scoop…made of “Ba-KO-Tay”!
Thank you Turkey Hill for all your holiday cheer!
oh
i love it
I love turkey hill!
What a great looking scoop!
Scoop is almost too lovely to use…but I certainly would! Awesome prize!
Learn somethign new everyday…bocote can be somewhat difficult to dry, tending to develop surface checking and end splitting! that makes this ice cream scooper even more of a wonder. I also never knew that the concentric circles were actually natural and not man-manipulated. What a unique piece of wood and a truly treasured utensil for all those that savor the flavor of their ice cream and really appreciate a perfect looking scoop!
WOW! What a nice ice cream scoop. All the better to scoop out the Tureky Hill Ice Cream.
The scoop is beautiful! And, I love checking out the ETSY sites!!
What a beautiful ice cream scoop. It would be a great addition to the ones I already have. Just like the flavors of Turkey Hill ice cream, you can’t have too many ice cream scoops.
A beautiful addition to any ice cream connoisseur’s kitchen.
The scoop is lovely and useful.
Beautiful ice cream scoop !
No more bent spoons. What a great way to scoop out you’r favorite
Turkey Hill ice cream.
Now that’s an ice cream scoop – beauty and function all in one!
As golden as Turkey Hill Ice Cream “wood” be!
you have the best gifts
Love the personalized ice cream scoop! – - A Must-Have item!!!
I need another scooper… mine is always dirty… happens when you eat icecream every day and don’t do the dishes daily…
Almost too pretty to use…..but I definitely would!!
Wow, that’s some scoop!
