It has been used for one purpose and one purpose only.

To make it more efficient to stir things?

This isn't going to involve gerbils or anything of the sort, is it? ;D
How many beers?
Looks like you used it with beats.
Looks like my chili spoon. Flat on bottom to make sure beans don't stick and burn.

Making roux ?
I purchase a wok many years ago, and it came with a utensil very similar to that. It was shaped that way to better fit to contours of the wok while stir frying.
NO!!!....................It's a prop from Shakespeare's Macbeth........the 3 Witches scene.....You know it from High School......"Bubble, Bubble, toil and trouble.....caldrons boil and caldrons bubble..." It's used to stir the caldron of magic potion used to make frog mats......Oh YES THERE IS FROG IN THOSE MATS!!! Duckbill Sam and his little wife Hanna make them way back in the swamp of Louisiana. One's mean and the other's crazy......they boiled down and ate a man of the cloth who came back there and told them they was living in sin......SIN...I TELL YOU MY BROTHERS OF THE FORUM...he said "Only voodoo and black art practitioners could make those mats!!!"
Now admit it.....aren't you glad you asked what it is???

Dam, you found my MA's wooden spoon. Thought I sent it far away. The end broke off the last time she whacked it across my *ssb :'(
I do believe its called an end spoon.
HA
i vote for a roux cooking spoon!
Its a spoon, Its a spatula, Its your super sixties favorite Blackberry preserves wooden spoon ;D
It's a rouxoon!
My guess would be that it is used for making candy.
Iceman and Deb are correct. That is my roux stirring spoon. When I bought it the end was shaped like a regular spoon. Over the years and many stirrings it has worn down to that shape. Handy for getting around the edge of the pot. :)
We have one almost like it, it's one of Pat's favorites...

Plus as it wears it adds fiber to the roux. ;) ;D
Now just think about how much wood you have eaten. :o
Now you can use it with your wok.
You either make a lot of roux, or your pots sure need a good sanding!
I cant keep wood spoons long enough for them to look like that.
My spoons seam to grow legs all the time.
I'm using bamboo now,,,,,,,,,maybe they wont grow legs. ;D
I use to tell my girls when they were little and being unruley that I was going to get the wooden spoon. I would go get it and say "you'll get such a smack" this was something my mom always said to us in her most ferocious voice which couldn't scare a mouse. So then when they heard me say it they knew I was not serious so they would get cheeky and say "oh daddy you wouldn't hurt a mouse with that spoon". So I would say "oh yeah " and then swing it threw the air like I was going to swat a fly or something but I would usually hit the wall or the door and then break the spoon. Then they would laugh and say " daddy your such a tough guy" which they picked up from my wife. I went threw more dang wooden spoons.
