2010 - 42 catalpa coffee scoop

This is a small coffee scoop. The wood is very soft and porous. You can see the staining. The lady bug looks better in person then in the picture.

In general this is not a wood that should be used for spoon carving.

Status: used daily

2010 41 Hackberry holes

Hackberry holes

A nice user spoon out of Hackberry or a near species. A common tree in Nebrasksa - at least where I live. The holes where an experiement prior to chip carving. I was wanting something more, but this was not exactly it.

2010 - 40 Apple spreader

Apple Spreader

Wood from a friend

The spreader is a nice first piece for new carvers since it does not require the scooping motion to create the bowl. I try and keep several on hand for demos and to give to people who want to give spoon carving a try.
