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. I select each walnut blank by hand, choosing pieces with the most striking figure and the right density for a spoon that feels substantial in your hand without being heavy.
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.
