Cedar flipping spatula

This large flipping spatula was made from cedar wood downed by winter storms in the Azores. The extra length of the handle was designed to easily and safely flip and stir in pans or woks which are used with high temperatures. After being roughed out with a carving axe and sloyd knives, it was left to dry and then sanded smooth to enhance the natural straw colour and pink heartwood streaks of the wood. It was treated with walnut oil.
