This is a pair of black walnut serving spoons. They were made from a 60 year old walnut tree felled on a Lodi California farm. Walnut oil finish was used to help protect the wood's character. Clean the spoons after each use with warm water and mild detergent. Wipe dry immediately. They can be re-oiled with walnut oil (found in grocery stores) or mineral oil. Do not use vegetable oils as they turn rancid in time.
