Olive Wood Salad Serving Set 11"
These 11 inch salad servers are carved from olive wood with a cow bone handle. The patterns on the handles are created by melting wax on the white bone and dipping the handles in a dark dye. The intricate carving of the handles gives the appearance of two thick twisted vines. Treated with oil they should last a life time. Handle designs will vary.
