Shovela
I might be stretching it a bit with a name like Shovela ~ but don't be mislead this is a fantastic kitchen utensil, a shovel shaped bowl will cook and serve like no other. Perfect for stir fries, curries, and all manner of frying applications 

The spoon is finished with milk paint, which is 100 percent food safe together with organic Linseed Oil 

Source: 
Sustainably sourced from locally grown trees in South Devon, UK. The trees I carve almost always grew within a 20 mile radius from my workshop, meaning very little carbon footprint from tree to spoon. These spoons are hand carved with 3 hand tools: an axe, hook knife and straight knife from log to spoon.

Spoon Care:
This spoon is designed to be cooked with and well used - don't be afraid to use it on a daily basis! The only thing to avoid is putting it in the dishwasher, or leaving it to soak in the washing up bowl.

I always make sure my spoons are bone dry before putting them away in the drawer.

To give the spoon a new lease of life from time to time you can add a coat of flax oil, walnut oil (careful of nut allergies) or organic linseed oil, but this is not essential. 

*The spoon you receive will be the exact shape and finish but the grain and colours may be slightly different from the photo.
