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
 
Wow ! Fantastic work. I must practice my spoon making, to date everything I've tried has only gone as far as looking spoon like, nothing refined like these.
