Went from underwhelmed to in love
My initial reaction was that of being underwhelmed and initially felt a 3-star rating was fair...  It's a cute little, shallow wooden spoon without any apparent "finish" so just basically raw wood which has its own rustic appeal.  I do like the shape of it and its leaf handle design, but it just didn't have the "wow" factor I was hoping for.<br /><br />I subsequently used it a couple of times as a small serving spoon with various items from my home bakery and added a star because of it's unique shape and design and how nicely it compliments so many other aesthetics.  Slowly, its simplicity started to grow on me and 4-stars seemed more appropriate...<br /><br />And then I washed it and put a thin coat of flax seed oil on it, and now I absolutely love it!  For some odd reason, all of its beautiful subtle attributes just continue to grow on me!  It was destined for the drawer initially and now I've got it out so I can see it all the time.<br /><br />Not sure I can fully explain this relationship but there you have it.  I just love this little, simple, wooden spoon.  It's kinda like falling in love with the quiet one who didn't make much of an impression initially and then....wow.
