This is a stirring spoon with a small tasting spoon carved onto the end of the handle for convenience. It is 17 inches long with a 2 3/4 inch wide stirring end and 1 1/2 inch wide tasting end. It really feels more like a 12 or 13 inch spoon when you are using it since you hold it in the middle. The little tasting spoon does not get in the way and it is handy when you want to give someone a taste but don't want to get their cooties in the food. This is one of our most popular tools. 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.
