Two-Tone Maple Wood Spoon and Walnut Spoon Rest On Legs Carved by the Zen Spoonmaster of Hungry Holler

Description

The reclusive Zen Spoonmaster of Hungry Holler has long elevated wood spoons to useful art and now he does it literally. This two-tone kitchen sculpture is a wood spoon and rest combination like no other. The spoon-rest-on-legs is walnut, a wood long-prized by furniture and musical instrument makers. The spoon is maple. The ZSM carves his utensils with an artist's eye and a cook's utility. Objects used every day should be beautiful. This one-of-a-kind set will become a beloved family heirloom, passed from one generation of cooks to another. The Spoonmaster repurposed old walnut and maple furniture to create the piece, carving the spoon to fit snug as a glove in the bench rest. All colors and grains are natural, enhanced by his hand-rubbed mineral oil and beeswax finish. He's branded each piece with his mark. The set stands just over 2 inches tall, and about 8 inches long overall. The graceful curved-handled spoon is about 7 inches long, carved with ergonomics in mind. Many folks with grip challenges find ZSM utensils a comfort. As with all wood utensils, the more you use it, the better it gets. Please hand wash each piece. The dishwasher is not a wood-friendly environment. The Spoonmaster won't hold it against you if the pieces accidentally wind up in the dishwasher once or twice, but he'll feel sorry for the wood. A hand-painted kraft bag with sturdy handles is included so you're good for gifting.
