Middlewood spoon

[SOAR]

I started a spoon at the Middlewood meet last weekend and I thought that I would show you some pictures it now that I have finished it.

My camp for the weekend.

The spoon in progress

And the finished spoon, its made from Laburnum.

A couple of pics from the woods.

Lovely finish. Not sure I would stir my tea with it.

Does anyone know if Laburum is less toxic when seasoned and oiled?

They look like Del Stubbs work, very very nice knives http://pinewoodforge.com/

Beautiful spoon Simon I've never carved with that wood becasue of what Wayne refers to above, always thought of it as dodgy for an eating implement, it's lovely though
