It was once the custom in Wales that young men's hands should be kept
busy when they came courting. Therefore, they were required to carve
spoons for their young ladies' parents. Some of the wooden spoons were
very ornate with birds carved into the handles and links of wooden chain
extending from the end of the handles. - from the World History section

and carving chips, concealed in a jacket pocket?
