The First Spoon I feel Comfortable Selling

I finally made a spoon that I feel is nice enough to sell (and I have enough spoons in my collection now).  This gorgeous wood is called Monkey Pod.  It grows in Central and South America.  It is commonly used for utilitarian purposes and furniture making along with carving.  I went a little crazy the other day and ordered four exotic species of wood to carve.  This is hands down the easiest wood I have tried carving.  It is super light but very rigid and tough.  The grain is a little swirly so I really had to pay attention to the directions of my knife strokes but overall was a joy to carve.  The curve in the handle matches the direction of the wood grain making for a nice strong spoon.  If interested in purchasing, please follow this link: ThinkingSpoons on Etsy
