All wooden utensils made at Object Flux are hand carved from high quality maple wood, hand sanded, and sealed with non-toxic, food safe beeswax. To keep your wooden utensils smooth, you can continue to seal the wood with food safe wood oil or wax. A drop of coconut oil on the wood rubbed in with a soft cloth also works well to seal your wood from water damage. Please hand wash your wooden utensils and avoid using the dish washer.
