Olive Wood Small Spoon

Description

Use these small olive tree wood spoons for coffee, loose tea leaves, sugar, salt, and more! Each spoon is about 4″ long. Due to the nature of olive tree wood, each spoon will appear different. Therefore, each spoon is incredibly unique! We suggest handwashing the spoons and occasionally coating the spoons with olive oil to prevent the wood from drying out.
