Description

With all the things I make I try to use wood that would otherwise go to waste or get burnt, from branches I find when out on walks or, as in this case, part of a cherry tree that was being felled by the council.

Picking out some chunks that had straight grain I split the sections while the wood was still fresh and green with a hand tool called a froe, looking for where I could get the best contrast and grain pattern. The wood was then worked into shape with an axe before moving to a small craft knife and a crook knife to carve the bowl part.

Once carved the spoon was left to dry and season before then being sanded and oiled to get it to a smooth surface with a little shine that brings out the patterning of the wood

17. This spoon has a flat ended scoop with the grain running parallel to the handle. The long sloping lines of the grain as they sweep across the scoop section and up the handle show off the colour and nature of the wood very well
