spoon and spork

[titanius anglesmith]

Good evening everyone,
I would like to show a spoon and spork that i made during the summer.The spoon is made from sycamore,and the spork is made from blackthorn,i think.Anyway it is carved from a piece of wood that i found in the middle of a field,that as hedgerows around it. The hedgerows had recently been cut.Both spoon and spork have been finished down to 600 grit wet and dry.The spork has had a coat of alkanet root oil stain and both, have been oiled with walnut gun stock oil.The sycamore one is also my third attempt at a wood spirit.Because of the finish that i put on them,they are for decoration only.The woodspirit has been highlighted with wood stain.

Wood spirit sycamore spoon

spork

Regards Chris.
