Better? Better how... they won't stir a potful better than any
others... wooden spoons are available in just about every hardwood on
the planet, none are better... only some are more desirous
esthetically, but that is strictly subjective. I happen to think
wooden implements made of sycamore are lovely, but try as I might my
$20 hand carved sycamore love spoon won't stir a potful of pasta any
better than my 25=A2 birch spoon from the stupidmarket.
