Hi, thank you. Its red oak -- not the easiest material to carve, but its very strong. This one's made entirely with a Condor Bushlore and sandpaper.

Why dont you try lino cutting tools..(available from good art suppliers) I've used them and thay are realy good and will give you a nice bowl in no time..thought this may helpBit embarrassed really but it's my first and only attempt at a spoon to date (and I don't have any form of crook knife to make a deeper bowl):
started this one on saturday night whilst out wild camping with the family,just finished it today:
its carved from hazel sourced locally.
thanks for looking.
Very nice spoon, I want to have a go at making a fancy handle next. Have to have a think what to do.
this is my first and only spoon at the minuet. i have no idea how you guys are so good at this, i found it fun to make but difficult.
If you compare these with the ones I posted earlier, I'd say my spoons are definitely improving 
I seasoned these in Peanut oil which still gives a nice dark colour, but doesn't impart nearly so much flavour as roasted sesame oil
My pocket knife is provided for scale only. I didn't use it to carve these spoons, well I did a little but then gave up. Although extremely sharp I have slightly convexed the blade which doesn't seem to be a great grind for carving - does anyone else find this? The blade wants to burrow into the wood rather than shave little pieces off. I find my Scandi ground mora to carve better.
