These are some of our favorite kitchen products! Our kitchenware is not made from glued or adhesive laminated bamboo, plastics, or Teflon-scratching metal—just good old fashion hand-carved wood. The two kinds of wood we use the most are Hard Maple and Cherry. Why, you ask? Because hard maple has a tight grain structure, it takes a long time for the wood to absorb water or splinter, so it’s used for our long soup spoons and risotto spoons. Cherry is used for our cooking spoons and risotto spoons because it also has a tight grain but more importantly handles the heat of cooking well. All of our spoons have a food-safe tung oil finish that won’t affect the flavor of your meal! For important information on care, cleaning, and usage of such kitchenware, check out our wood utensils blog post!
These are the three spoon styles currently in production. The long Maple utensils are our soup spoons for stirring soups and have a well in them for tasting! The next Cherry spoon is our cooking spoon carved and angled to fit every pot and pain you have. The well can be carved on either side for both left and right-handed use. The last one is our risotto spoon, which has the hole in the center for mixing a number of things that require a more genital stir like lentils, pasta, beans, and risotto!
If your curious on how we carver our spoons check out our youtube videos where we demonstrate it!

Also had a strange request from a family member to remake an old cooking utensil, which the best name I have been told for it is a Nicaraguan blender, or a hand blender. It is used to mix, by putting both your hands on the top to spin it like a top. It was quite an interesting tool to turn and make.
