The spurtle is an old Scottish stirring stick reborn as a fermentation tool, and this version is handcrafted from solid teak with an angled tip that hugs the walls of narrow jars. Sourdough starter, sauerkraut crocks, overnight oats, deep peanut butter jars - anywhere a spoon is too fat and a spatula too soft, the slim 11-inch profile stirs, scrapes, and folds without leaving half the mixture behind.

Why it is built this way

Four notes from the workshop that shaped it, node by node.

The Spurtle, Explained

A spurtle is thinner than a spoon and stiffer than a spatula, designed to stir without incorporating air or trapping mixture in a bowl shape. For sourdough starter - fed daily in a tall jar - that geometry is exactly right.

An Angle Into the Jar

The tip is cut at an angle so its edge sits flush against curved jar walls and flat jar bottoms alike. One rotation scrapes the sides clean, which means less waste and no abandoned crust of starter at the rim.

Teak With Nothing Added

Each piece is shaped from solid teak and left uncoated - no paint, no varnish, just naturally oily, water-resistant wood with its own grain. Teak's density suits daily washing far better than softer utensil woods.

Hung Up, Not Buried

An oversized hanging hole in the handle keeps the spurtle on a hook beside the jar it serves instead of lost in the utensil drawer. Tools used every day earn a spot in the open; this one is built for it.
