Monthly Spoon Guessing Contest #1: Spoon Guessing Contest

Osageman, It’s not suggested to run this contest as a blog. Once it is off the front page it’s off the front page. If you post it as a Project you will get the same results.
So, my suggestion is to post this as a FORUM topic, so that every time someone guesses it comes back to the front page, thus making it visible at all times. The Coffee Lounge in the Forum section is where I would post this contest.
Good luck everyone.

how about osage orange

-- projects dont pay,pieces are profitable,production is painfull

Very well crafted spoon.
It is similar to the one I just made using Myrtle Wood,so that will be my guess even though this one doesnt show any of the characteristic Tiger Eye shimmer in the grain.But that could be just the photo.

No one picked the correct wood that the spoon was made out of this month… I didn’t think it would be that difficult. I guess it was as difficult as me figuring out how to run this contest smoothly. I enjoy giving away a spoon a month…

I am very limited on doing things on the internet. I really don’t understand how things on this site work. To run a successful contest each month I need to understand how things work. I will figure it out and when I do, I’ll start the spoon guessing contest again. Sorry that it didn’t go as well as it should have.

Please send me suggestions (again) and I will look at them and figure out the best way to run the contest. Looking forward to those suggestions, again. Please make them simple… John
