Misc spoons in the heart of summer



I have been traveling a lot for my other job, and it is too hot to carve outside. Thus my production has somewhat decreased. Here are some spoons I have carved in the last few weeks. Some are left rough and others are smooth - it depends on my mood and the wood.

From top to bottom
128 - Oak tulip spoon
129 - Oak Saute - interesting in that some bark was kept which really set this spoon apart
130 - Oak fork - left rough carved with very distinct colors for oak

131 - Yellowheart Saute. Another yellowheart creation from the last of my supply
132 - Walnut shorty - Large spoon, small handle, fun to carve, let rough
133 - Pecan bundle - a couple of spoons, a stirring spoon, and a fork. Pecan is very strong wood and can be carved thin. I had fun carving these and decided to make them a set.
