Olive Wood Inlay Spoon
These hand-carved olive wood spoons are perfect for scooping coffee, sugar, flour, spices–or for adding style to a charcuterie or brunch table! These spoons are made from African Olive Wood, a quick growing bushy shrub that produces fine grained, extremely hard and dense wood. The batik accents are added with repurposed cow bone that has been batiked using traditional wax pattern making. All patterns are a little bit different, which just adds to their charm! These spoons just get better with age, as additional oiling and usage brings out the natural wood grain more over time.
All wood sourced from Kenya is certified for export from their forestry service, making certain to limit wood poaching and deforestation. We work with carvers in Kibera, Kenya, who hand-carve each piece using a hammer and chisel method.
