Recently, I had a request to carve a Spalted Birch spatula to match a cooking spoon set that I made for a wonderful lady in Virginia.  It took a few weeks of searching to find a suitable piece of wood with deep spalting.

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 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 only a hand saw, a small axe and knives. These are heirloom quality spoons that, if properly cared for, will last for generations.
