This is a Plum wood wooden spoon with a curvy handle and a deep bowl for serving sauces and the like. It is really a left handed spoon though it could be used by right handers. The bowl bends to the right and it feels a little awkward in the right hand. The Plum wood is pinkish orange in color with prominent lines. It is 11 inches long with a 2 1/4 inch wide bowl. The handle is set at an angle to the bowl. Plum wood is hard, durable and fine grained making it ideal for wooden utensils. 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.
