The majority of my spoons are made from Birch, Sycamore and Cherry. These are some of the best woods for carving and also have the best grain patterns and colours.

 

A round of tree is cut longer than your spoon, then split radially giving a wedge.

Its then worked with the axe into the rough outline and shape of your spoon.

Once you have a 'Blank' its time to play with the knives and finesse it into shape
