Imperfect Rice Paddle
Inspired by the Japanese 'shamoji', a large flat spoon to traditionally serve rice, we have created our own version with a large head to effectively sweep and stir grains without mashing them. The handle with a slight curve allows for easy gripping and is ever so tactile.
These imperfects have some dark patches of wood. This is a natural occurrence in the wood - we have just separated these from our usual stock as a patchy batch but many people love this natural look too.

Your purchase supports job creation and helps to keep the tradition of wood carving in the Makonde tribe alive.
Made in Tanzania
Material: African Blackwood
Please note although the wood is called African Blackwood, it can sometimes have light grains and sections running through it, giving it a wonderful two tone look.
