I carved it into a bird shape.  I think it looks like a bluebird.  The spalted grain of the wood is really remarkable. It feels very comfortable in the hand, and is about a two tablespoon capacity.  I love to use scoops in cooking.  I have several that Use to pre measure herbs and spices, salt and sugar. into before I begin.  They are very easy to grab and convenient for adding ingredients to a dish.  They never need washing ...

Ladles are made from the section of a tree where a sturdy branch emerges.  The handle of the ladle comes from the branch, while the bowl is from the main trunk.  This results in a beautiful grain pattern. Ladles are difficult to carve, but well wor...

The piece of wood was just big enough to make this set, as well... and maybe one other piece, but I won't know until I cut into that secction. Spalted wood is so very unique.  No two pieces have the same pattern.  Notice the difference int he lines from two pieces taken from the same log.  I love discovering what lies underneath the bark! I think whoever buys this these will enjoy using...

This is a very pretty cooking set that is comfortable int he hand.  No two spalted sets are the same. In order to carve a spalted set that matches, I have to choose a section of wood by eye that I think will be suitable.  Then, I split the log so that each pie...

When I cook, using wooden spatulas, I either want a short, sturdy spatula for stirring a roux or a sauce, or a very big one to stir and serve big pots of rice a la Creole, jambalaya or a Carolina chicken bog.  So, I got creative with these two. The small one would probably be among my most often used cooking utensils if I kept it (I am carving a matching set for myself, btw). The big spatula is like nothing you will ever find in a store.  It is truly my own unique desig...

I finished these on Thanksgiving Day. Spoon sets are very popular as Christmas Gifts.  I have a few on the site for sale right now, and will carve at least a couple more this month.  I'll have to give my hands some rest today though! I think whoever buys this these will enjoy using them.  As always, my woodwork is sustainably sourced from trees that are storm damaged or that must be thinned. Each piece is entirely hand made in the ancient greenwood tradition. I use o...
