An exquisite handmade tiny teaspoon from the wood of the orange tree. The elegant wooden spoons are ideal for mixing rhassoul or green clay, as unlike metals, they preserve the natural energy of the clay. They are also suitable for food preparation and eating. Each spoon is unique and exquisitely formed by an master wood workers in Morocco. Starting with the fresh branch of orange wood, the maker uses a chisel to define the form, symmetry and proportion and then a curved blade to scoop out the eye-shaped bowl of the spoon. You can see the rippled surface, the tool marks, in the bowl of the spoon. The slender handle is delicately shaped with a rasp, file and then plane before the spoon is polished with sandpaper. Each spoon is completely made and finished by hand. The wood is yellowy-white, and turns a purer yellow colour when oiled. No varnish or chemicals are used on these spoons. Orange wood is valued for its light colour, fine grain and for the delicious but subtle aroma of orange flowers. The spoon is supplied unoiled. Oil the spoon with the edible oil of your choice, several hours before use.
