Olive Wood Spoon Rest - Mediterranean Handcrafted

These pieces are hand-carved from Mediterranean olive wood, a dense, slow-grown hardwood prized for its rich, swirling grain. Olive wood is typically worked from the wood of trees that no longer bear fruit, so very little goes to waste.

Because the grain is natural, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is shaped, sanded, and finished by hand to bring out the wood's color and character, and built to last for years in a working kitchen.
