Description

This is a wooden spoon for serving rice from a rice cooker. It has a very shallow curved bowl with no rim for serving sticky rice. It is 11 inches long with a large, 2 3/4 inch wide bowl. The wood is curly maple with intense figure. The grain of the wood grows in ripples and because of the changing grain direction and the way Maple reflects light you get this series of dark stripes that seem to move as you look from different angles. If you have ever seen a piece of polished tigers eye stone it is a similar effect. Finished with beeswax and mineral oil.
This utensil is "pre-washed" so to speak. The grain has been raised with water during the finishing process to remove any loose fiber ends so the spoon will remain smooth after you use it.
Care is easy, just wash in hot soapy water, towel dry, and apply some mineral oil or walnut oil every couple of weeks or you can buy some of our spoon oil finish which is Beeswax and mineral oil. A 4 oz. jar lasts for a long time and it will help to keep your spoon looking and feeling good for many years.
