Wooden stirring and tasting spoon of salvaged Mesquite wood. This spoon is 13 inches long with a 2 1/2 inch wide bowl on one end for stirring and a small, 1 1/4 inch wide bowl for tasting carved onto the end of the handle. I made the first one of these 3 years ago for fun and it has become one of our all-time best sellers. I use mine every day. It's handy to have when you want to give your sweet heart a taste of what you are making for them without getting their cooties in the meal. The Mesquite has a bright contrast of yellow sap wood and dark brown heartwood. Mesquite is an excellent wood for utensils and it stays smooth in use. 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.
