The handle is made from cow bone using a special batik process which in this case makes a face!. The bone is hand- carved, dyed and polished. The beautifully grained wood is olive wood.
This olive wood fork was hand-carved by an artisan in Kenya as a part of a Fair Trade initiative.
Fair trade means that artisans are paid a fair price in advance for their crafts and work in a safe environment. It provides the framework for empowering the disadvantaged of the world to make a fair living and provide for themselves and their families.
Length: 11 ½" x Width: 3 ¼"
Like any wood, we recommend washing in warm water and towel drying.
