Who made your spoon?

Our contemporary wooden products are hand-carved in a Nairobi workshop run by Zephania, one of the founders of the popular Maasai Market in Westlands. They are made from African blackwood, sustainably sourced in Kenya.

Care

From East Africa, African blackwood has an excellent reputation for being strong and stable, though it should still be treated with care. Hand wash with a mild detergent and warm water, avoiding boiling water and dishwashers, as high temperatures can cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks. The same applies to any pieces with horn or bone accents.

Once a month, treat with a food-safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil) — rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
