Pancake Accessories

Cooking spoons bought in a shop or fair often have their drawbacks. First of all, they are sawn regardless of the grain direction, so that they can bend or cup. They are often hairy because the manufacturers did not bother to sand them. But there are other possible accidents: one of my friends bought a pancake spatula which lost its curve and was almost straight after a few uses. It was probably made from steam bent wood...
The same friend asked me for a new pancake spatula together with a small roller for spreading the batter on the pan.

The spatula is from radially cut birch wood, so the flat part should not cup nor bend. The roller is from an applewood cutoff. Since I don't have a lathe, I carved the cylindrical part by hand and then I turned it around inside a small roll of sandpaper until it was smooth and regular.
