Small Scoop in order Ambrosia and Spalted Maple

You can use this pretty scoop to measure coffee, serve nuts or dollops of yogurt. And when it's not in use, the unique grain will tell the history of the Maple tree it came from. Long ago an Ambrosia Beetle invaded it, then perhaps lightning struck to add Spalting and water "damage" to the mix. The combination has enhanced a luscious blend order of quarter-sawn and Curly. I carved it simply to let the piece tell its own story.

Each of Meb's Kitchenwares is created in our off-grid workshop in Northeastern Connecticut. We use hand tools along with power tools that Tom has adapted to suit the specific needs of our craft.

Our finishing process is meticulous. Each piece is dipped in water to raise the grain before being sanded smooth again. This process is repeated twice, then the piece is hand-rubbed with 2 coats of non-toxic boiled linseed oil and given time in between coats to properly cure. This process ensures our kitchenwares are food-safe, lustrous and smooth with very little care needed after use.

dimensions: 5.5" x 2" x 1.5"

A tag with the Wood Type and Care Instructions is included with each piece.
