9 left, and of those I might expect someone to have done something with Wych Elm or Blackthorn.

Found a decent sapling of Wild Service tree yestersay, mostly fallen and probably doomed. Very tempted to remove it for the wood. I have permission too.

I have Wych Elm in the garden but not the time at the moment, If it stops raining today I'll try and get a piece to carve.

You fancy making the list any bigger - carved one out of plum (damson type) yesterday.

Hmm, I've just realised I have a pic of a spoon made from Ivy. I suppose that belongs here too.

I suppose the challenge now is to see which individual can make a spoon in all of these native woods first. My money's on Kepis...

I'll have plenty of blackthorn to play with come hedgelaying time
