(Good, Safe Wood?)    • 9   I was wondering if anyone else had
used these. They look really nice and I like supporting someone
local. I wanted to know if cherry was one of the woods that was
safe to use, as I know some cause allergies or other such
things. Since they look to be doing well I'm assuming cherry is
fine, but just wanted to make sure.  Anyone have experience with
these? They are pricey but very pretty and made in USA and local
(for me).  Anything sucky about wooden spoons, I've only used
plastic and stainless steel cooking utensils before.     1.

wood. Wood utensils are very different from stainless steel and
plastic utensils. You just have to use them to find out. For
one, they are thicker. You can make a very thin metal
turner/spatula. You cannot do that for wood. You can make a very
sharp metal fork, but you cannot do that with wood. You can soak
your metal spoon in a sink fu
