Whilst camping at the beautiful Nantcol Waterfalls campsite during half term, the daughter and I made an applewood spoon each for one of our friends
then, after some none too subtle hints from SWMBO, we started on some spoons for her
My daughters applewood spoon, with integral salt measure (?)
And what turned out to be an epic undertaking, my spalted hawthorn. I was really amazed by the richness of the colour, the photos don't really do it justice
For the record, seasoned hawthorn is significantly harder to carve than green apple wood, by a factor of 10 if the hours spent on it are anything to go by, but she's worth it
. I just want my hands to stop aching now
