Wow! That's a beauty Scott! I'm dying to try to carve a spoon but then I never do it. Not sure if I'm lazy or chicken. Or maybe both. A lazy chicken. What kind of wood is that?

Check the 20:00 poin of this video where my fav YouTuber uses my spoon I sent him. It's also the feautre photo for the vid:

Made with my Cherokee ANZA (certain portion of purchase went towards the Cherokee Indians in Cherokee, NC).
Sycamore wood.
Nice one Scott! A real beauty!

Scott, you can certainly turn out a fine piece, be it a spoon or a spatula. How long does it take you?
Thank you.
Sanding is what takes the longest.....couple 2, 3 hours. Maybe a little more.
Love that plum wood Scott. That's a beauty.
Another mullberry wood spoon. The handle is crooked because of the wood grain direction in the spoon. It actually works good in the hand even though it doesn't look like it.

Nice spoon Doug! I tried to make one of those match stick flowers of yours this evening on the couch.
Ended up with a pile of splinters & one small cut on my left index finger.

Thanks! Sorry to hear that. Start on a corner just slightly down from the very top. Then do another just to the right of it and another just a little bit to the right turning it as you go. I highly recommend at least a decent leather glove on your left hand.

Ok Thanks for the tip Doug! As soon as I get brave enough to try it again, I'll wear a glove.

Knice work pal. I love it when the wood directs you on how to go!!!
This is an emergency backpack spoon. Tie it inside your backpack on a loop or on a zipper...never be without an eating utensil again!

Another nice one, Scott.
About being without an eating utensil... as long as I have my God-given fingers...
Take care and God bless,
