I’ve been using cherry up until now, but have pretty much run out. This was all I had! The spoons are unlikely to ever get used, but the wood is great for learning with and it’s either that or a chair leg! Just making do with what’s around me during lockdown ?

Interesting! My wife's maiden name is Alderson - she'll love this. I'll gift her the spoon.... Thank you!

Thanks for this! Not sure if this helps, but the wood pattern on the spoon came out looking like this... IMG-3681 IBB.CO Image IMG-3681 hosted in ImgBB

Hi I was given a few logs for spoon carving by my local tree surgeon, they are particularly good so wanted to know what species of tree the log comes from! These pics below show a couple of logs that were cut a month or so ago and have been outside since.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 93-E3-D36-D-15-F4-4-D6-F-A6-AA-4-D952-A43-DD4-F IBB.CO Image 93-E3-D36-D-15-F4-4-D6-F-A6-AA-4-D952-A43-DD4-F hosted in ImgBB (ignore the small log at the bottom right in the grass) IMG-3676 IBB.CO Image IMG-3676 hosted in ImgBB Thanks Josh
