Touch it! The wood tells the story:
smooth-mellowed pieces of trees shaped for use in your kitchen. Yes, a
tree limb is where this piece started. It began to take shape on the
work bench with the help of chisels and a mallet. a pocket knife, scoop
gouge and a coping saw. Then the sanding began. Hours and hours, days
and days later, after sanding smooth and then wetting the wood to bring
up the grain, then sanding again and again, the character of this piece
began to form. it’s an individual and like no other. It’s
hand rubbed with peanut oil and ready to come to life in your kitchen.
Wood’s been around for ever. When we
live with wood around us the unique character of wood can add depth to
our existence. That existence is dependent upon eating. We eat to
survive, but is survival enough? A bowl of soup eaten with a plastic
spoon from a paper dish is a meal. Put that soup in a bowl fashioned
lovingly from a burl of hardwood tree, and eat it with a treen
spoon and it becomes a feast.
Use your treenware. Only your loving use
can bring this heartwood alive again to share joy and beauty.
