Qäsa Qäsa Carvers - Hand-Carved Blackwood Serving Scoops (Set of 4) - - ABASK

Hand-Carved Blackwood Serving Scoops (Set of 4)

These serving scoops have been made by Filbert, one of Qäsa Qäsa Carvers’ artisans based in Mtwara, Tanzania. Each one is crafted from locally sourced African blackwood and highlights the wood-carving skills established by the Makonde tribe, where a free-hand technique produces naturally smooth results. They all have their uses, too – you can use the smaller one for salt, sugar, spices or chutneys, and the larger one for scooping, eating and baking.

Moved by the wonderful taste and culture of Tanzania, Qäsa Qäsa Carvers responsibly source Mninga and African Blackwood to create their collection of kitchen and home utensils. Every piece is hand-carved from a single piece of wood using hammers, chisels and rasps, before being sanded and smoothed in a way that celebrates the wood’s natural grain. Preserving traditions and cultural heritage, the maker financially supports, champions and fosters the skills of talented artisans in the Makonde tribe, who apply time-honoured, wood-carving skills to each and every characterful piece.
