Sofkee spoon made from a single piece of cypress wood. The surface of the spoon is sanded smooth, but some tool marks remain visible. The handle bends near the center. There is a hole through the end of the handle, but this spoon does not have anything threaded through the hole. The under side of the handle tip has a patch of dark bark still attached. This appears to be intentional.
