Carving by Charles Hamer Right now, these hand carved spatulas are my new favorite kitchen utensil! I've been putting the ones he made for me through some rough use, cooking enchilada sauce in an iron skillet (several hours of simmering and stirring) and then washing in the dishwasher. Every once in a while I have treated it with olive oil again to "feed" the wood.

he he he...two years ago I started making a dough bowl along with him. He finished his dough bowl in a few days. I'm STILL working on mine! It is HARD work! He teases me that if we had been pioneers, and needed that dough bowl to make bread to feed the family, my family would still be hungry, and his family would have had a dough bowl with which to make bread! LOL

Carving by Charles Hamer These beautiful cherry mixing spoons were a special order for a customer. All of his primitive kitchen utensils were sealed with olive oil for a natural non-toxic finish.

Carving by Charles Hamer His primitive mixing spoons are very popular. He makes these from cedar as well as cherry. Other woods available upon request. All of the wood he is using right now is wood that was salvaged from the damage of Hurricane Katrina here on the farm.

I can see why these are popular...I am eyeing a set for myself..I have always had a thing for wooden spoons. I have a wooden spoon drawer nothing but wooden spoons. Hubby thinks I need to get therapy for that...I just smile. I am from the south what can I say.

That sounds perfectly sane to me! I love wooden spoons, but have had many store-bought wooden spoons break on me over the years. I don't know what wood they are made from. These cedar ones are TOUGH! I've not been able to even crack one with HEAVY use, washing in the dishwasher, and other "abuse". He has a spatula that I have been using to cook the meat for Gordon's enchiladas....and it gets super hot in the cast iron skillet as I make the sauce or brown the meat.
