You girls are good, I love your choice of wooden spoons. It's always good to hear positive feedback about PC products (we don't mind the constructive ones either, that's how we continually improve.)
Mary Ann, you are right about the bamboo products they are very durable and strong, and what's even better, the wood replants itself and grows so much faster than trees so it's easily replenished. I just read that bamboo is 16% harder than maple and 25 % harder than oak. I didn't think there was ANYTHING harder than oak. Uh, learn something new everyday. Is the board you bought a cutting board or a carving board? And how very interesting about sheets made out of wood. I never heard of such a thing. Can you share more about them, that sounds facinating.
The spoons are not suppose to stain, warp or split either, so they will stay nice for you, Kay.
Have a blessed day.
In His hands,
Lynda

Well, I looked on my sheets tag and it said the fiber is called Modal. These are 100% modal. I found this in the Wikipedia:
"Modal (textile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. It is about 50% more hygroscopic, or water-absorbent, per unit volume than cotton is. It is designed to dye just like cotton, and is color-fast when washed in warm water. Modal is essentially a variety of rayon.
"Textiles made from Modal do not fibrillate, or pill, like cotton does, and are resistant to shrinkage and fading. They are smooth and soft, more so than even mercerized cotton, to the point where mineral deposits from hard water, such as lime, do not stick to the fabric surface. Like pure cotton, modal needs to be ironed after washing.
"Modal is a registered trademark of Lenzing AG, an Austrian company specializing in textiles and fibers, particularly natural fibers made from cellulose. In the United States, pure Modal has begun being used in household linens such as towels, bathrobes, and bedsheets. Bed Bath & Beyond, for example, sells its newly-released Modal sheets under the name Pure Beech. Indian textile companies, in particular, have taken to Modal, and are expected to produce around 4000 tons of it in 2005."
I guess I got them at Bed Bath and Beyond, because the Pure Beech name is familiar. The texture is silky and suede-y at the same time, and they get softer and softer each time I wash them. The ones I have are a deep rich green. I'd like to go get some more! (But rest assured, I don't iron them.

I'll help to get us back on track! 
I use wooden spoons, cheap ones. After reading this post I went to
see what color they were. They were dark!  I love my wooden
spoons!
I thought what would happen if my 1 year old took one or blah, blah.
So I went out and bought some more cheap ones. Boy were they bright!
That's ok. My cooking and when I make ice tea will help them
to darken.
Are we back on track now?

You might need to cut and paste.
Thanks for the link. The sheets sound very comfortable. My son and his fiance are registered there for their wedding. I'm going to see if they have these sheets on their list. Who would have ever thought you could make sheets out of trees? Something else to put on my list of things learned today. Have a blessed day.
