More Spoons
A couple of the more interesting spoons I’ve made in recent months –
Camphor Laurel Spoon with a loop handle
Camphor Laurel Spoon with a small Red Cedar Spoon
Gardenia Spoon
Camphor Laurel ‘Leaf’ Spoon
Silky Oak ‘Kidney’ Spoon
Silky Oak 2 Bowl Spoon
Inspired by American spoon guru, ‘Spoontaneous’.

I like your choice of background for the photos.
Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

^^^ So do I, they make the spoons look like some sort of lizardish creatures.

I like these. Particularly the feeling that the designs are at the same time informed by and imposed on the raw material.

Very natural and botanical shapes. The absence of conventional design is nice to see.

I did 70 spoons and 30 forks for sale. Burnt out and quit. None appeared as the store-bought crap.
There's nothing "odd" about what you carved. Different, yes. Appealing, yes.
Carve what you see in the wood. This is a completely understandable practice in Pacific Northwest
carving. I confess I can do little, otherwise.
Carry on, sir.

Beautiful designs, I love the flow of the grain complementing the shapes and taking away the rigid wood look. Great work.

Thanks Simplicity,
Gotta say that I had no interest in spoons either (mainly did woodturning) til asked to assist a learner carver source some wood and get started making a spoon. While helping her, I had a bit of a go myself and one thing lead to another . . . . etc etc
For me, it's a nice diversion from the other stuff I play at, and I get to use lots of the off-cut wood I would otherwise throw out or burn.
And sometimes I get lucky and finish up with a satisfying end result.

Perhaps another step in exploration = carve REALLY BIG spoons with no handles at all = dishes.
