I started working with wood many years ago when I made bows out of wood. (bows and arrows) When some one asked me to make them a wooden spoon that wouldn't break, I knew the wood I made my bows out of would be strong and tough enough to use. That wood is Osage Orange (hedge)
The first wooden utensils that I made were simple in form and design. People began asking for them. One kitchen utensil design lead to another and now I have over 25 original designs and still adding more.
My line of kitchen utensils make great gifts for people that are hard to buy for, at Christmas and birhtdays.
My wooden utensils are made to last a life time (with just a little care). I have done several tests on my wooden utensils to see how they stand up to being used on a daily basis. One test that you might find interesting. I took an Osage spoon and put it in boiling water and left it there for 3 days (yes you heard right, 3 days) all I did was add water and boiled some more. At the end of 3 days the spoon was (to my surprise) EXACTLY the same as when I put it in, the only thing that changed was the color (it was darker). it did not crack or get fuzzy. Try that with your wooden spoons and see what happens. My utensils Never get fuzzy, if they ever do, send it back to me and I'll send you another one free of charge, and I'll even pay for the shipping, can't get any better than that.
The next test was: submerging a spoon for a month in water. The result was, the spoon was still smooth and not harmed.
The next test was. (I knew this test would be the last one I had to do) I left a spoon outside to see what the sun, wind and rain, heat and cold, would do to it. Other than being darker in color, it was still smooth and not harmed...
My utensils come with the best guarantee there is: (under normal use) I will replace it as long as you follow the simple care instructions that come with your wooden utensil, its that simple. Where will you find that kind of a product and guarantee. If you beat your kids or husband with it, that's not covered...
In The description of each item I share with you the time it takes to make each utensil, I want you to see the time involved . They are not massed produced, (I make every one from beginning to end) and very labor intensive to make. There is 22 separate steps in each utensil. Great care is taken with each step of the process, that insures the end quality of the finished product. please note, the times listed with each utensil does not include the time spent finding and harvesting the trees, sawing into lumber, storing and drying, and designing them. I am VERY selective in the trees I harvest...
If you have a wooden utensil that your grandmother had and can't find another one like it, and would like me to duplicate it, I can do that, ( and you won't have to worry about ever needing to replace it. It comes with the same guarantee that all of my utensils do) and if I add that design to my product line, (with your permission) you'll get it free of charge as my way of saying thanks.
Shipping is only $5.00 dollars anywhere in the United States, no matter how many kitchen utensils you order. Thanks and enjoy cooking with your kitchen utensils, from the Osage Tree!!! [
