When you order a rice server I will carve it of wood harvested from maple, cherry, or plum trees grown at my home on Maury Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Wood Rice paddles are part of an Asian tradition that has spread the world over. You may order them in two sizes: eight or ten inches long. The paddle portion of my rice servers is about three inches across. Because each one is carved from a different piece of a living wood branch, no two of my wooden rice servers can be exactly the same. Although they are intended to be used to serve in the kitchen or at the dining table, with their beautiful grains, pleasing curves, and smooth, soft texture, they may also serve as objects of art.
