I’ve spent most of my limited carving time recently on more spoons. A few of the little bears, but that’s about it.

My friend Mike was about to throw an old table into the burn pile up at the ranch. I grabbed a few slats to bring home, because I wanted to see what kind of wood was hiding under all that rot.

The wood turned out to be teak. I now have the entire table and will be making things from it.

I got ambitious on Sunday and made another mesquite log spoon. This one turned out really nice.

Finally, another coffee scoop. The wood used is ambrosia maple. I’m getting better with the square or rectangular bowls.
