Very nice!!!! What kind of wood?

Finished this serving spoon for my daughter
Very nice!
It was just a basswood block. I’ve got some butternut that would be nice to try with, but I don’t think it’s thick enough for a deep spoon.

My best pal and bass player was a great craftsman. He was James E."Ned" Mackenzie . We lost him 10 tears ago to diabetes. He made this West Virginia Cherry apple butter spoon. From the tree to the spoon, all Ned. One piece. His etched name and info is in the pic but hard to read.
It says, JEM WORKS, WEST VIRGINIA. 235, WILD CHERRY. He lived in Dodridge County. Hope you like it. J.O'.

Sorry about the crooked pics!

Thanks guys. Miss that boy. He had a portable saw mill he'd drag into the woods and cut railroad ties all day by himself. I just reread my original post and realized I said we lost him "10 tears ago". What an interesting slip ! I meant "years" but ..... ::teary_eyes::

Here are some recent spoons that I made.

I make almost all of my spoons out of white birch

Here is one I whittled, just using a knife - no bent knife or gouge.

I had no idea that carving spoons was a thing until I saw this thread. It looked like a good way to pass an afternoon, so I threw my hat in the ring. This post is a bit of a re-run as I had posted it in a different sub-forum. This Cedar was taken from a hurricane victim on my place three years ago. I have used most of what I had milled in other projects, so I am down to mostly sap-wood remaining. The last shot is with it sealed with olive oil.
