106 - Tulip salad set in walnut

If I have a signature piece this is it. These are salad mixing tongs carved like tulip flowers. I added a smaller spoon to this set for dressings and other related items. I sell a number of these to be used as wedding gifts. This set turned out so well, I had a hard time giving it up. The walnut is from Nebraska (a big log I have been working on). Like all my other spoons the colors and patterns are natural - no dyes or stains are used. I go to great lengths to obtain wood with interesting and striking grain patterns.
