Kolrosed eating spoon made from Cherry

[SOAR]

I haven't posted on here for too long but I thought I would post some pics of a recent spoon that I have made.
Its made from Cherry and its the last in a batch from the same wood. The decoration on the handle is a design that I have been working on and its chip carved and kolrosed with coffee.

Side view

The spoon is carved using an axe and straight knife and spoon knife from tangentially split wood.
The final finish is achieved using the knife rather than sandpaper and then oiled using flax seed oil.

Cor! That's a beauty! I'd love to know how to do this kolrosing thing; without wishing to hijack the thread, does anyone know of a useful and usable set of guidelines about how to do it? Please p.m. me any info.! Many thanks.
