Found Wood

Now that I have returned to wood carving, walking through the woods is like walking through a lumber yard.  I keep hoping to find some downed limbs of good size that are pleading to be carved.

Here is a beech wood spoon and the tree from which it came.

Actually, the spoon lived inside a limb that had broken off the tree.  I don't cut down trees to make spoons.  

I am having SOOOOO much fun carving, I don't want to do much else.
