Wooden olive pick by Uda Masashi from March 2025.

The carved and decorated base of this lovely utensil is not only a delight to hold, but it's also designed to stand on its end when not in use. And the long, tapered point is ideal for skewering those hard-to-reach olives or pickles.

Uda Masashi is a woodcarver based deep in the countryside in Saitama, Japan. He has a deep respect for his materials and his process is slow and considered - using small, repetitive movements of simple tools, he follows the flow and grain and allows the wood to inform the work's final expression.

Masashi's pieces are made mostly from Japanese cherry, walnut and oak, which has been responsibly and sustainably sourced. It is often stained using traditional dying techniques based on iron and vinegar.
