If you think about it, spoons are very multifunctional. They are likely one of the most basic tools in your kitchen, yet have so many unexplored uses and designs. You can eat with them, put them on display, use them in your kitchen, give them as a gift, or even play the card game "Spoons" with them. As you can see, their functionality is not just limited to an eating utensil.
You are probably wondering where I am going with this post by now... But, recently I came across these beautiful hand-crafted wooden spoons at Ro2 Art Gallery from the talented artist and woodworker, Erik Tosten. They serve (no pun intended) as functional pieces of art that you can display in your kitchen!

One of the reasons why these spoons caught my attention right away is the story behind their creation. Tosten believes in giving each piece its own personality that you can only get from one-of-a-kind handmade objects, not mass-produced ones. Calling woodworking a "rebellion against the mass-produced disposable object makers of the world," his goal in the woodshop is to slow down and take the time to make high quality, handmade products. As a result, he produces spoons that are stronger, funkier, and only get better with age.
Although the pictures below don't do them justice, they are truly beautiful! They make great one-of-a-kind gifts as well as a unique addition to your kitchen.
