This is a beautiful hand-carved spoon that would look great in any kitchen. It is made from alder wood from our area and is burnished with stone and wood. Then mineral oil and and beeswax is applied to complete the finish. It measures in at 12.5 inches. The bowl is smallish (1 3/4" wide by 3 1/4" long) but it is nice and deep (1/2 inch at the deepest). Nice and narrow for getting into tight places.
