Curly Maple and Bog Oak Spoon

This spoon is made from Curly Maple and Bog Oak. Bog Oak is created once a piece of Oak has been buried in a peat bog for hundreds or sometimes thousands of years. The extremely low oxygen conditions of the bog protect the wood from normal decay, while the underlying peat provides acidic conditions where iron salts and other minerals react with the tannins in the wood, gradually giving it a distinct dark brown to almost black color.
Handmade and finished with food safe Tung Oil. 
Roughly 12” long.
