Got 2 WIP one walnut and one cherry that will progress sooner or later.  Did a couple in cherry, cherry, gave one to my sister in law, kept one!  Lots of fun.  You can wrap your fresh wood in plastic wrap and throw it into the freezer to use later (S)!

I have some spoons in the freezer waiting to be finished right now, actually :P

Spoons are best carved while the wood is fresh cut and wet. If you freeze it, it locks the moisture content in so you can work on it later without it drying out.

that's something I have to try. thankyou for the explanation
