Cherries all around


The last spoon from wild cherry was so nice that I couldn't leave all that remaining wood from the broken cherry tree to rot in the forest. I went there again and split a few more pieces.
So much for my resolution that I won't overfill my freezer with green wood anymore.

First I carved these two cooking spoons (not oiled yet).

Then there's this spoon with a dramatic contrast between heartwood and sapwood.  White sapwood oxidized to orange color, probably because I soaked it repeatedly during sanding.

And finally one more spoon from apple wood.
