Since this is a website dedicated to weapons.....that spoon in first choice for serious cereal killers.
All seriousness aside, spoon carving is a specialized woodcarving craft. Our local woodcarvers club has an annual competition just for spoons. I've carved a few "getting by" spoons while camping and it's not as easy as it looks. This one has nice esthetics and remains functional. Good work, man.

Thanks jw I love to carve about as mush as making primitive weapons. In my opinion its becoming a lost art and a lot of what I carve comes out more beautiful than anything I could ever buy. Its a shame that there isn't a woodcarvers club around here I would definitely love to join one. BTW I have just found more ERC and its pretty seasoned all I gotta do around here is just check some of the fallen trees around here. They actually aren't that common where I live.

Sounds good David. Can't wait to see them
RidgeRunner:
Here are the first two wooden spoons I carved.
Both are made of widd "Black Cherry.
The longest one is about 14 1/2" long.
Gave it to my wife. She uses it some and it has changed coler.
The other, I gacve to my Mom. She does not use hers so it still has that red color to it.
Now, Lets see if I can post a pix.
