Hand-carved from a single piece of wood, this sculptural salad fork captures the charm of mid-century safari-inspired design. The elongated handle, shaped into a giraffe’s graceful head and neck, flows seamlessly into wide, organic tines — a balance of functionality and artistry.
Crafted in an unsealed natural finish that highlights the warm woodgrain, this piece carries the quiet irregularities and tactile honesty of handmade folk art. It stands beautifully alone as a display object or can be paired with a complementary spoon for serving.
