black walnut and mystery wood....spoons

[forginhill]

Finished up these two this past week. The first one is from an unknown wood that was given to me. The second is black walnut.

That first one is a real beauty, lovely clean lines and strong grain pattern.

The walnut spoon is great but the first one is superb

The black walnut is beautiful and the side profile of the unknown is great

Both look nice. The unknown looks like cherry to me.

Blimey - They're a bit good for sure. I'm just working up my very first spoon and it don't look like that !!

Thanks!

I agree, Red Beard. The fibers in the grain feel a little different than cherry, not as smooth, but it could be cherry.

Kitharode, show it off! Babies are awfully cute. Then they grow up.... There's something very nice about early spoons....

Lovely work again...
👍
I'd guess the mystery wood is beech...

Very nice work
I also think your mystery wood is likely cherry

I'd go along with some species of cherry too, it looks very similar in colour and grain to a cherrywood Kuksa I made recently. I have no matching spoon to go with it yet, but I will be very pleased if it turns out half as good as yours my friend, that's nice work.
