Chester P. Basil's Wooden Spoons

Our next door neighbor at the Leesport Farmers Market is Mark Hamm from CPBasil's Wooden Spoons.
Mark handcrafts his wooden spoons and other items in nearby Lenhartsville.
No cheap "buy and sell" imported products from Asia.

He is a knowledgable and great guy to talk with about wooden ware. You might think "well its just a wooden spooon" but when you actually hold one of his products in your hands, you'll think differently.
Check out his site: http://www.cpbasils.com/index.html

We cook in dutch ovens quite often and his products go hand-in-hand with outdoor cooking as well as in the home. Using wood to stir or serve food in or from cast iron is preferred so the seasoning is not scraped off like a metal utensil would do.

Here are some of the items we purchased from him last Spring and have been using throughout Summer.

12" Basic Spoon
13" Country Ladle
14" Branch Spatula
