Finally got my tech head on to do the simple job of uploading some pics. All the spoons (and the spatula) here were made from quite dry wood, had the heck sanded out of them and were oiled with olive oil. Usability is something that happens by accident when I'm making a spoon, as you can see. You'll also see that I'm no photographer.

Ahh, ickle baby spoon. This pair are sycamore. The baby spoon became a lot shallower after I put a big ding in the rim of the bowl

These are beech. They don't excite me, but...

OK, this was an attempt to carve a bit of seasoned oak. Obviously, I was aiming not to do too much to it, but I still like the way it ended up. A bit rough in the bowl, but what the heck.

Beech again. I admit that I am almost completely pleased with this one. Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with fibres lifting while doing the bowl and never managed to get the same finish as on the rest of the spoon. A lack of patience, mainly.
Thanks for looking. I think I'm going to do a bit of non-spoon stuff next, just for a change.
Cheers,
Leif
