Cooking Spoon #3

 

 Price $30 with free shipping in the continental US.

I ship using USPS Ground, which is the least expensive option that included a tracking number.  If you prefer Priority Mail or another shipping option, international shipping or would like to combine shipping on multiple items to save a little money, please email me at judson@judsoncarroll.com

This is a pointed cooking spoon, as opposed to the more common round ones.  I find both to be useful in the kitchen.  I like to cook with cast iron dutch ovens, which have steep sides. The pointed spoons are good for getting into the corners of the pot.  

A spoon like this is what I reach for when cooking jambalaya or other rice dishes, lentil stew and specially grits but, of course, it has many uses.

The spoon feels good in the hand.  It is extremely smooth with graceful lines that really display the ultra-fine grain of American Holly.  After sanding and sealing with walnut oil, the wood feels not only solid but almost satiny.  It is also super light but very strong.  All those qualities may holly a great wood for spoons, but this will be the last holly cooking spoon this season as I have used all the wood from this tree and have a pile of cherry, tulip poplar, cottonwood and birch waiting for me!

As always, my woodwork is sustainably sourced from trees that are storm damaged or that must be thinned. Each piece is entirely hand made in the ancient greenwood tradition. I use only a hand saw, a small axe and knives. Each piece comes with a handwritten, numbered and signed document. These are heirloom quality spoons, sealed with walnut oil.  If properly cared for, they will last for generations.
