They're lovely, especially the the first Mesquite one.

Love them all, but my personal favourite has to be the last one.

I said it before and I'll say it again I really admire the crisp, sharp lines you have on on your spoons

 

[Muddypaws]

Lovely work! That black walnut spoon is superb, and my favourite. But they are all great spoons.

Very nice - wish my spoons turned out like those!

All wonderful, but the maple teaspoon is a sweetie.

 

[forginhill]

Thanks for the comments....it's been fun trying out the different woods...and still so many to try.

I'll vote for the walnut as well. That's such a departure from the usual pale wood selection for spoons.
I do like the spoons with contrasting natural wood colors, such as the mesquite.
What I'm noticing is a continual improvement in the final carving and finish.

Speaking of which, how about some forkage?

Forged & carved KFS, perhaps?

Beautiful, symmetrical bowls and lovely flowing lines on all of them. Where do you get hold of mesquite? It doesn't grow in my local woods...

Like this?

It was a first attempt; the wood is cherry.

 

[bilmo-p5]

That's nice.

 

[Robson Valley]

Smooooooth! Well done.

 

[Mesquite]

Where do you get hold of mesquite? It doesn't grow in my local woods...

That could be because it's a tree that lives in the semi arid areas of South west America and northern Mexico

Nice work

Nicely done.

Nice fork, Tiley....I'm going to try one soon...

Thanks, Mesquite. I think they grow further south in South America as well. Definitely not your British climate conditions...
