ladle

More of a big wooden spoon really.  Had a big piece of apple-wood, bent at a big knot and heavily fractured where I had cleaved it and it had got stuck at the knot.. Spent a few hours with carving axe, gouges and a shinto rasp.  Fun little project.  The heli twist works well in making it all more comfortable to use. Its about 18" long, finish is sunflower oil.

I have a lot of people wanting me to make them a spoon from their property. Seems like everybody wants one from Apple. That is some hard wood to hand carve.

JEB,
I picked that up from an article about making spoons, wrapped in plastic wrap keeps the moisture in the wood for carving when needed.  I keep some feathers in there, too, and a duck and a couple chukar so for training my dogs to retrieve.  Luckily, they haven't learned how to open the freezer!  (lol). There may be a couple of hides in there, too.
