Exotic (Non UK) wood spoons thread

[Harvestman]

This is the last one, honest.

The object of this one is slightly different. Post a picture of a spoon made with a wood not listed in either of my other two threads:
UK native wood spoons
UK naturalised woods spoons

Having posted, label your picture, and add to the list created by previous posters.

First poster will have to start a list of woods.

Let's give this one a target. Say, 20 different types of wood? I reckon we can do that easily. After that, let's see how many we get.

Usual one sort of wood per post rule please.


I don't have a spoon fetish, honestly . It's just a thread idea that got out of hand...

I spied a huge magnolia tree just up the road here earlier, it looks very sickly

 

[Harvestman]

Ok, that's a start to our list.

1. Magnolia - Kepis

Please copy and poaste this list, and add to it, every time you add a new wood. Initial target is 20 species.

Thanks

Walnut - not on either list

[Harvestman]

Hmm, surprised walnut doesn't count as naturalised, but there you go...

 

[R.Lewis]

Ooh, I have a couple of Lilac (Syringia Vulgaris) spoons, shall I post here?

 

[Harvestman]

Yes. No need to ask first. If it doesn't grow wild in the UK, it can be posted here.

Guava. I did this one this weekend at our first bushcraft/primitive skills class here in Brazil. I made it very clear to them all that if they really want to see good spoons and learn how to make them they need to translate pages here. This was my first spoon with Guava.

1. Magnolia - Kepis
2. Walnut - Kepis
3. Leylandii - shaggystu
4. Sumac - Peat
