Black walnut is the crown jewel of American hardwoods. Its deep, chocolate-brown grain — streaked with warm purples and grays — makes every spoon a piece of functional art. Ken selects each walnut blank by hand, choosing pieces with the most striking figure and the right density for a cooking spoon that feels substantial in your hand without being heavy.
This spoon is carved entirely by hand using traditional carving gouges and knives. No two are identical. The one you receive will have its own unique grain pattern, its own subtle curves, its own character. It is finished with food-safe oil that enhances the natural colour of the wood and protects it for decades of daily use.
Black walnut is naturally antimicrobial and one of the hardest domestic hardwoods in North America, which is why walnut cutting boards and spoons have been passed down through generations. Buy one of these, and there's a real chance your grandchildren will cook with it.
