We wanted to create a modern design for wooden spoons, so we carved their handles in zigzag, Peten Wood Artisan Sculptors tell us with obvious pride. They carve the spoons from jobillo wood by hand, showcasing its natural brown to dark red and golden grain. It accentuates the spoons' bold design. Please note that hot and/or spicy food may dye the natural wood, yet spoons can be filed and finished with oil to return to natural coloring.
