Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons Review and Giveaway

Handcrafted in Pennsylvania, Jonathan’s® Wild Cherry Spoons offers a beautifully designed collection of utensils.

Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons Story

In the 1970s, following an apprenticeship with a furniture maker, Jonathan was employed at a canoe-seat factory. After being laid off, he made the decision that he wanted to continue in a different direction. He wanted to work for himself using the skills that he had developed in woodworking. However, there was one problem. His workspace consisted of a garage with temperatures often dipping 20 degrees below zero. With temperatures this cold, he was unable to build pieces that required glue. It was under these conditions that Jonathan developed the Jonathan’s® Wild Cherry Spoons company. Today the company has expanded to ten employees and products are distributed across the nation.

The Wild & Crazy Collection by Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons

Cat Tail Spoon
Part of the Wild & Crazy Collection, the Cat Tail Spoon is the perfect gift for a cat lover. The series is available in several utensil options such as a serving spoon, serving fork, or spatula. You can also get a Kitten Tail Spoon that has a shorter “tail.” The spoon is very easy and comfortable to grip. The wood grain and the contrast between the light and dark wood is attractive.

Lazy Spoon Collection by Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons

Wiggle Slot Lazy Spoon
Wiggle Slot Wood Spoon
Part of the Lazy Spoon Collection, the Wiggle Slot wood spoon fits on the side of a pot when not in use. This feature is very helpful, especially when cooking several dishes at once or for anyone with little counter space. By keeping the spoon directly over the pot, food will not drip across the stove or counter in between stirring. Like many of the utensils, the Wiggle Slot Lazy Spoon has more than one function. The little wiggle slots work great for straining!

Benefits of Hand-crafted Wood Spoons

  • Wood Spoons Do Not Conduct Heat
If you look at my collection of spoons and spatulas, you will see indentations and melt spots from hot pans. Despite the heat from food or the edge of a hot pan, a wood spoon will not conduct heat.
  • Wood Spoons Work Great with Lots of Ingredients
With a metal spoon, you may find that acidic foods have a metallic taste or change color. A wood spoon is also very gentle on ingredients.
  • Comfortable Grip
The handles are not so thin that you get a cramp in your hands when vigorously mixing ingredients. Several of the products are also designed for left-handed cooks.
  • Part of the Kitchen Decor
Even just sitting in a basic container on the counter, they add a warm feeling to the kitchen.

    I think it’s so very important to buy from local artists and for USA artists. My sister in law is a visual arts mentor and owns her own learning studio and art gallery, and it’s hard to get people to appreciate the hard work and creativity she puts into her paintings because so many people go to WalMart and buy a print of something for $9.99.

    Absolutely. Our great country was founded on people’s hanging their shingles out and making a living via their wares and services. It is exceptionally important we support independent business owners today as their numbers are decreasing annually. Personally, I would rather have something hand/homemade than mass produced any day. Thanks so much for supporting the mom and pops of America!
