2010 - 10 weathered ash

Complete with worm holes and weathered handle this spoon has seen many years.  Older piece of ash filewood that was given new life as a display spoon.

2010 - 09 Walnut Sprout

An earlier spoon from around 2007.  Reminds me of a seed that is just opened to reveal the young seedling.

Great dark walnut color.

2010 - 08 Peace Spoon

I have carved this spoon many times.  This one happens to be in crab apple.  Good user spoon and makes a nice show among your other spoons.

2010 - 07 Crab apple

Crab Apple Ladle from the same tree as number 6.  The nice larger bowl size make this a good using spoon.

Available for purchase - $50

2010 - 06 Crabapple

One of my very favorites.  Carved from the crotch where 2 branches meet.  A tragic crack in the bowl almost brings me to tears and reminds me that although strong they are not unbreakable.

2010 - 05 Ash Ladle

Same tree as number 4, but more natural carving.  This spoon needs to be held.

2010 - 04 Ash Ladle

The shape, feel, and color are spot on.
