serving spoon from mulberry

[forginhill]

A friend sent me some mulberry wood. This is the first spoon from it, with enough left for several more.

First time I've seen mulberry wood carved and it's lovely.

You've also done a great spoon as well with it

Looks lovely

That's lovely! Never had a play with Mulberry wood, what's it like to carve?

 

[forginhill]

Thanks, gents...I'm adding a serving spoon I just made from maple. I'm giving it to my mom as a birthday gift.

Muddypaws, the mulberry was a pleasure to carve, very similar to some white oak I've worked with. You have to be careful about splintering because of the growth rings, but otherwise, very clean and predictable.

Those are lovely spoons. Really like the maple one to

Nice work and some lovely looking wood too, you definitely have a spoon design parameter that you have made your own, not a criticism, many artists/craftspeople do similar. It is distinctive, clean lined and begs to be held in your hand.

Thanks all for the feedback. Rob, I appreciate hearing your perspective. Being myself, I don't see things objectively, so I enjoy hearing what things look like from the "outside."

I love the form of your spoons , simple yet effective . I've been learning myself but am not yet confidant enough to post pictures . It's definitely work in progress.

Beautiful spoons, is the Maple serving spoon designed using Don's Spoon Design Kit?

The mulberry spoon would have been the perfect server for last night's chicken fried rice.
The maple spoon fairly displays your signature design concept which I've admired all along.
