When I noticed an interesting brown color on a broken peach tree, I decided to try the wood for carving nevertheless.
The wood is medium hard and it has a very interesting smell, a bit like cherries and a bit like lapacho tea.
I used my new axe to level the twisted wood and to produce this spoon blank (yes, I need more practice, but it's much better and faster than it used to be).
The finished spoon has darker and lighter strips and also a nice texture. I plan to make an eating spoon as well and test if the wood is as good as plum or cherry for carving.
