Wood is one of the most versatile materials known to man. We have used wood since the dawn of our species to fashion and construct almost every type of utensil and object you can think of. Wood is a good material for a pan handle because it is a relatively good insulator and thus does not conduct heat from the fire or heating element to the hand very rapidly. Also the wood can be easily shaped to the hand for ergonomic considerations. Finally, wood is very durable and with the proper varnishing and lamination it can last through many washings with soap and water; in fact it can literally last through a lifetime or more of use.
