This is a 5 inch coffee scoop and 1 tablespoon measure designed to reside in the coffee can. It is a great gift for the coffee lover in your life. The Maple wood is light blond with curly figure. It has a prismatic effect with dark stripes that move as yo look from different angles. If you have ever seen a piece of polished tigers eye stone you will know what I am talking about. 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.
