5 out of 5 starsQuality and description meet expectations. Unfortunately I ordered 5 and only got 4. I'll be sending an email to the vendor. Keep you posted. Spoke to Gripstir and the 5th spoon rest is on its way. Great service. I would order again from Gripstir

The fifth was sent as soon as the error was discovered and should be received at this point.

5 out of 5 starsTimothy crafted three beautiful pieces for us, which we are thrilled on have on full display in our kitchen. He is clearly a talented craftsman who has elevated utensils into sculptural art. Glad to have found somebody who takes such pride in all facets of his craft. He provided prompt and detailed responses to all my questions and all items were exceptionally well packaged. We look forward to getting a lifetime of use out of these lovely pieces.

5 out of 5 starsThis spoon-rest is good-looking and finely crafted. It looks even better than the photo. I never thought I'd swoon over a spoon-rest!

5 out of 5 starsThe spatula was beautiful, well made, finished to perfection and a delight to hold. Packaging was first rate and worthy of an object of art. I could not be more pleased. My wife, the recipient, was all smiles. It exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully crafted and feels great in hand! Looking forward to doing a LOT of cooking with this bad boy. The design is super thoughtful and moves along the sides of pans with ease.

Handmade wooden utensils for your kitchen
I have worked with wood for years to make things I live with; bookcases, desks, sound system shelves. It occurred to me that I didn't quite have the right tools I wanted in my kitchen and so I started making some - tweaking which woods I tried, lamination techniques, and so on until I feel I have arrived at a nice balance.
These tools feel exactly right in the hand - as they should. They are smooth, last well, and have the character of something definitely hand made.

Care instructions
For frequent-usage care, liberally coat your tools in olive oil and leave on a cookie sheet on the counter overnight. For tools used less often, liberally coat the tool in Mineral Oil (from a drugstore) and leave on a cookie sheet overnight.
Where are the tools made?
I make all tools in the small town of Bowmanville, an hour east of Toronto, Ontario Canada.
