Product Description
TEAKS : The greatest gift from nature
Everything starts from teak fields grown by the Northeast locals. They are valuable resource growing together with people in the region; they have been grown, taken care of, cut, and then replanted for years and years. Unlike teaks from other areas in the world, Thai teaks possess unique golden brown texture which can be seen even with naked eyes. We choose teaks due to their moist resistance. Their durability and lightweight are more than suitable to be utensil material.
HANDMADE : The greatest gift from local artisans
Handcraft has been passed down for many generations in Northeast of Thailand. In the old days, people used coconut to carve utensils used among families. The skill has been sharpened until today where those household utensils are turned into high quality ergonomically designed products made of teaks: finer carving, neater sanding, and better materials. The local artisans keep brainstorming, thinking, designing, and improving their every piece of wooden gifts to every customer. This way, they can share the true value of handmade products with the whole world.
HEARTCRAFTED : The greatest gifts from humans
Feeling grateful for every support that keeps their families together, they use their heart to carve utensils instead of only saying thank you. Back when they had no supporter, they to run around selling their products, leaving the kids and elders home. Now that they have a little space to sell, they can build warmer and bigger families. Some even managed to take their kids to work and teach them how it is like to work by heart. People in the photo above are Joi and Noon, her daughter. They now work in the same place so they have more time together as family. Their warmth and strong bond also bring happiness to the entire workplace.

Ou
Ou was born an ordinary little boy. Unfortunately, he fell into the water when he was 2, and since then, he has become physically challenged. He used to stay home all the time, but now, with a little help from his neighbors, he can work like other people. He enjoys it very much, saying that wood carving has fulfilled his life.
“I used to feel hopeless and had to stay home alone. Now it’s completely different. I’m employed. I have some money. I am loved by my colleagues. I like to spend time at work. I want to work everyday.”
Ou is responsible for drafting the products before they are finely carved. His drawing skill is incredible.
Excellent quality with variety of uses

Great quality spoon. Requires the care indicated on the instructions. It feels really smooth and I love cooking with it.

Although I generally cook using stainless steel cookware, I still want to protect them. Using wooden utensils help do that, preventing scratches and dings. This spoon is well made, very sturdy and has a beautiful finish. I don't know how it will hold up over time, but so far it has worked very well and still is like new. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Lightweight yet sturdy. Smoothly finished. I also have an angled scraper from this brand and both are perfect alternatives to plastic utensils. I use these every day and as maintenance, apply mineral oil once a month.

This is my new favorite spoon. I’ve had just the cheep bamboo ones in the past but they break so easily and don’t have any heft to them so I wanted something more sturdy and pretty. This spoon is very well made and has just the right weight and feel in my hand. I used to have a spoon and a flat spatula but this replaced both as it has a flat edge but also a hollow for scooping. The wood was sanded smooth and I oiled it before I used it so that it wouldn’t get that rough feel from the wood fibers absorbing water. Every one is unique because this is real wood and mine had plenty of beautiful lines and swirls than give the piece character. I will be adding more utensils from this maker to my collection soon. A perfect hand crafted piece for an unbelievable price.

I can’t believe these are only $12 or so. Very nicely made, beautiful to look at, with a smooth but tactile, not-slippery surface. The handles are tapered slightly and not round in profile, so they add a level of control and dexterity I’m not accustomed to, and give you a lot of leverage. Note these are hand wash, and need a coat of food-grade mineral oil periodically, like a fine cutting board. They are not indestructible, so if that’s what you want, look elsewhere. These are nothing like the bamboo spoons in the mesh bag in your grocery store’s kitchen gadgets aisle. They are precisely made.

It was not a flimsy, thin spoon. It looks like it was made to take a lot of heat. I felt that the heal of the spoon should have been made a little thinner. Looks good. After washing, I recommend coating it with a coat of cooking oil. My preference is Grapeseed oil

Arrived the next day. Looked beautiful, and I wouldn't necessarily have thought of soaking them in hot water and washing them thoroughly with soapy water hadn't it been for the fact that the little card that came with it about a month warrantee should the spoon break etc... being edge in brown, as if from the same spay colour as the spoon... that was a bit weird. So as I didn't want to eat wood dye, I cleansed it thoroughly and afterwards it wasn't that gorgeous exotic wood colour, but just the same colour as my older olive wood spoon and frankly there is nothing wrong with that. But I would definitely recommend washing it thoroughly first too. As to whether it lasts well, time will show and if not I shall amend this review. I use a mix of beeswax and walnut oil to keep my wooden spoons conditioned, and will do so with those two new ones from this brand too. Maybe once I use it the deeper colour will be restored? It would be the cherry on the cake. Apart from that big solid spoon/spatula beautifully crafted.

A visually stunning spoon, but also very practical with regards to everyday usage.No more shaking the can to make sure all its content is in the bowl/saucepan, or the splatter of tomato juice on your counters or clothes.I have used the spoon on the following cans, peeled plumb tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, baked beans, various soups both chunky and the normal fruit and veg, tinned tuna and salmon, to name but a few.Happy with my purchase, highly recommend.
