My wooden utensils are ideal for people with metal sensitivities or who just like the idea of eating with natural wooden tableware. Each piece is individually carved from Lignum Vitae, a wood indiginous to the Caribean islands. This wood is so high in natural vegetable fat that even without the frequent application of oil, necessary to the maintenance of other wooden utensils, that utensils made from it will remain smooth even after years of use, In addition, unlike other woods high in water resistant but toxic resins, lignum vitae not only is nontoxic, it is said to have healthful, even medicinal properties. .
The spoon and fork measure 6 1/4 inches (16 cm) in length, and the knife is 6 7/8 inches (17.5 cm) long.
