sampling

A couple came into the booth with their young daughter who was learning to cook. She showed the burns on her arms. Her parents got her a carefully-chosen rack pull and she came back the next year to show me her clean arms. She said that her cooking had improved as well.

All of the pulls will work equally well in a toaster oven or standard-sized oven—it just depends how close you want to get to the heat.

“Someone gave me a wooden implement from you. It has a triangular notch on the bottom and an indented hook-like area about an inch and a half up from the bottom. I can’t figure out what it is used for. It is wooden spoon length. Could you let me know what it is for?"
- Janet K., email

Tom and I also gave them as holiday gifts one year, but neglected to say what they were for, so now they each come with a tag describing their use.  

And unless you want really outrageous wood grain, prices are as marked.

Big Fish

$34
15" x 2" x 1"

Fits comfortably in your hand—especially nice if you have arthritis or trouble gripping. And the tail keeps the pull from getting away

 

Big Fish and Sardines

Sardine

$24
10" x 1.5" x 3/4"

We like to make the fish of curly or birds-eye—for that watery look
