SPOON # 34 - Saturday 24th August

I was determined this weekend to make a laddle or deep serving spoon using the crooks I had cut from a small tree my neighbour had cut down and given me. It didn't go too much to plan - two attempts and both split, both in the same place. The second was not as bad as the first, so I have wrapped it and put it away in the hope that it will dry out slowly and I can then finish it off another time.

Instead I made this spoon, which showed signs of splitting along the handle into the bowl, but seems ok now - fingers crossed.
