Handcrafted Kenyan Olive Wood Serving Set with Geometric Batik Bone Inlay

Our Kenyan Olive Wood Salad Servers are designed for those who appreciate the intersection of sustainability and style. The rich, swirling grain of the East African Olive Wood provides natural durability and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for food preparation.

The handles feature a signature design element: ethically sourced cow bone that has been hand-etched using the traditional Batik wax-resist method to create striking geometric and tribal patterns. Because each piece is carved by hand, no two sets are exactly alike in grain or inlay detail.

Uses

These servers are as practical as they are beautiful:

• Tossing & Serving: The wide, shallow basins are perfect for tossing leafy greens, pasta salads, or fruit medleys without bruising the ingredients.

• Dining Decor: Their striking appearance makes them a natural centerpiece for Mediterranean-style dinner parties or rustic family gatherings.

• The Perfect Gift: A popular choice for weddings, housewarmings, or corporate gifts that support fair-trade craftsmanship.

• Individual Use: While sold as a set, the solid spoon can be used for serving side dishes like rice or roasted vegetables, while the fork-tipped server is excellent for gripping larger salad components.

  Care Instructions

  To preserve the luster of the olive wood and the clarity of the batik inlay, follow these steps:

  • Hand Wash Only: Use lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Never soak the wood, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to warp or crack.

  • Dry Immediately: Wipe with a soft towel immediately after washing and allow to air dry completely.

  • Oil Regularly: Every 1-2 months, rub the wood with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax. This "feeds" the wood, preventing it from drying out and maintaining its deep, golden-brown hue.

  • Avoid Heat: Keep away from dishwashers, microwaves, and direct sunlight to prevent the natural fibers from becoming brittle.
