first commissioned spoon
This is my first commissioned spoon... the guy asked me to carve a long handled teaspoon. Since I am using American holly, which is very finely grained and strong, I was able to give it an elegant curve and a delicate looking, thin handle.

Here is a new design that I like

Holly carvings so far
Remember that knotty, twisted holly tree I began working on a few months ago... well, this is what I have carved by the mid-point of the year. I think I started with it in April. Each piece was a learning experience, working with knots and the wood. I am pleased and I think I will be ready to sell some soon!

A British style greenwood spoon
A twisted, knotty piece of wood I axed out yesterday made a decent spoon. I'll refine the lines after it dries a bit and probably do some carved decoration on the handle. Overall, I'm pleased as is a very comfortable eating spoon.
