The copper tool is carefully fit to the wooden base—no glue! The base acts as an attached stand to keep your counter and tool clean.

Redwood Spiral: Wood handle/base is made from a wildcrafted redwood tree branch that fell during a windstorm, then cured for one year prior to shaping.

English Ivy Squared Handle: Wood handle is made from a wildcrafted English Ivy that was harvested from an old building that was completely overgrown with the stuff, then cured for three years prior to shaping.

The wooden handle weighs more than the copper, and can be placed horizontally on a flat surface without the copper tip touching the surface! Dimensions: ~0.625” at the base x ~6.75” long.
