cherry.

maple

Nice work! Mulberry?

-- It must be jelly baby, cause jam don't shake like that...

My thought was cherry as well. I have my doubts about it being a common easily recognisable wood though, seeing as it’s a contest and all you’ve probably made it somewhat difficult. But I’ll wager a guess nonetheless.

Great looking spoon. My guess is apple.

Thanks for sharing.

I’m not good at wood ID, but I’m going cherry too. Very nice work.

Beautiful spoon and lovely choice of wood.
I was also thinking of cherry, or possibly Canarywood…............ but my choice is going to be:

Olivewood

You do great work, can’t wait to see your’e entire process.

I can’t reveal if anyone is right or wrong since I am giving it to the first 3 people that has the right wood. SO, I guess I will give you a hint; if 3 people guess one certain wood and you don’t hear that there is a winner, then you can eliminate that wood from the choices. When the 3 right choices have been made then I’ll reveal the wood. It probably will be hard because, even the same wood of a species can vary in color.

I’ve posted another blog in the series. It has to do with picking the right wood. The next blog will be on making patterns. John

Hmmmmm. Dogwood.

I’m going to guess plum.

Well it is a nice spoon and I’m going to venture the same guess as majeagle1 and say Olivewood

How is the instructional video coming? Anxious to see how it’s done.

I will have to add my vote for Olivewood as well.

I think hickory.

It is beautiful.

My guess is you used a “Real Nice Piece of Wood”..lol
Great lookin spoons!

I vote for Apple.

John, I enjoyed talking to you and as soon as I finish the bed I am working on I will attempt a couple of spoons.
