Quilted Maple Spurtle - Grass Stalk Engraving

Signature Series

$40.00

Hand-carved from beautifully figured maple, this 12-inch spurtle brings together utility, tradition, and the quiet beauty of natural wood. Across the blade, a shimmering quilted figure catches the light in soft ripples—an uncommon grain pattern that gives the piece movement, depth, and unmistakable character.

The handle is adorned with a hand-cut kolrosing motif of a grass stalk, a woodland-inspired design that echoes the organic origins of the material itself. Each fine line is carefully incised and darkened by hand, creating a subtle contrast that will continue to mellow and deepen with time and use.

Slim, strong, and thoughtfully balanced, this spurtle is made for everyday work in the kitchen. Ideal for sourdough mixing, stirring porridge, folding dough, or scraping the sides of a bowl, its broad tapered blade offers control without overworking delicate mixtures.

A practical tool shaped by hand and elevated by distinctive figure and detail—crafted to be used often and appreciated for years.
