Free Video: Simple Tool — Scottish Spurtle
March 23, 2011 By 16 Comments

So she asked a local woodcarver to make her a bunch. She designed them and he made them in a lovely red wood. I was touched to receive one and I think it is fabulous. This post also includes a super short free video, showing you just three ways I use my spurtle on a daily basis.
