More like a spatula or a turner? This spatula doesn't want to be tied down. It easily fulfills both functions and can even be used as a scraper if required, for example to completely remove the last crispy roasted potato slice or the fully cooked fried egg - sunny side up - from the bottom of the frying pan. Speaking of fried eggs: even delicate fried food can be turned without damage thanks to the flat shape with a sharpened front edge. A little push and the spatula slides under the fish fillet. Handcrafted from service tree, special attention is paid to flexibility and breaking strength when selecting the wood. A final treatment with care oil emphasizes the natural grain and warm hue of the service tree wood.

The wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) is a deciduous tree native to Central Europe. This warmth-loving rose plant from the rowan family was once widespread in our forests. Today, the stately tree is rarely found - making the wood of the service tree all the more valuable, which is sold under the name "Swiss pear tree" and is valued by woodworkers for its hardness and natural grain. The dense, even structure of this wood translates into a silky smooth exterior. Its color varies between a reddish brown and a delicate pink, but can also appear dark purple to almost black-brown, giving the wood surface a noble, warm depth, which is particularly effective in furniture making. At the Leipzig-based cabinetmakers Mimikry, wild service tree wood, which is also traditionally used in musical instrument making, is even used to make everyday objects ranging from spatulas to honey spoons. In this way, the everyday is turned into something special, not least because the workshop places great value on processing regional wood from dealers within a radius of 100 kilometers. In the spirit of waste avoidance and resource conservation, all kitchen utensils are made from offcuts that accumulate in the furniture workshop.
