Summer Spoons


I had been having a drought of green wood the last few months it occurred to me that by asking for some on my Facebook group called “Buy Nothing, Springfield,”people who would otherwise be putting their green wood in the yard waste bin, might toss some my way.

I got some cherry, Rose of Sharon, and Bradford Pear the other week. What a delight.

These 3 spoons are in process. After I smooth them out a bit I will do chip carving on them.

 
To keep that wood green while I’m working on other spoons, I put it in a bucket with water. I have to change it every couple of days though because I don’t want mosquitoes to lay eggs in it and it gets stinky. I’ll show my progress soon. Can’t wait to start doing chip carving on it.
