Apple Wood

My parents-in-law gave me lots of nice apple wood. I made eating spoon and cooking spoon blanks and put them to freezer - this way the wood stays green until the time when I need to carve it.

First I made this small eating spoon. Apple wood can be polished nicely, so this spoon is sanded and polished.

There wasn't much wood suitable for cooking spoons because the apple tree was a little crooked. It can be seen on this spoon...

Moreover the wood sometimes contains dark spots like this. I was slightly disappointed from this spoon, but Jarko says the spot gives it a rustic look :)
