I’ve been carving quite a lot of treen lately. The past few weeks of work have brought in a lot of really nice wood—box elder, black cherry, apple, autumn olive, sumac, chestnut, persimmon and more. So I thought I’d post a photo of some of the byproducts. Some of these will end up in the store over the next few weeks!
nice looking spoons Mark
Thanks, Jarrod. I'm finding it rewarding to carve a whole range of species—mainly out of curiosity, but I'm also finding which I really like the most for production work and which are best reserved for those "special" spoons. For example, Honeylocust is a beautiful wood and holds a nice finish, but a chore to carve… Autumn olive is a dream. Sumac is psychedelic—almost too much—but nice to work with. On and on. Wood is so fascinating…
