Jonathan Simons makes handcrafted cherry wood spoons. His spoons are not made to hang on the wall as purely decorative objects, although they would look great there. These are real roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-cookin' spoons that were designed with the hand of the cook and the spoon's specific purpose in mind. Jonathan says if you treat his spoons right, they'll last a lifetime, and he prefers that you wash them by hand and rub them occasionally with coconut oil.
There's a wide selection to choose from: Baking spoons, cooking spoons, salad, serving, toast and tea spoons. Spoons with long handles, short handles, notched handles (to hang on the edge of a pot or pan), magnetic handles (to cling to stove or refrigerator). Spoons for sipping, and spoons for spreading. He has blackened cherry wood spoons, and artfully pattered spoons. His Wild & Crazy line is arty and functional and fun. Jonathan also makes a variety of tongs and cutting boards. And he makes spoons for left handed people, but you have to request them specifically when you order or you will get the standard right handed version. Prices range from $4.00 - $50.00.
I have linked to Jonathan's online store, but his spoons are carried in a number of specialty shops. You may be able to find one in your area:
