Not one of my favorite experiments, but it is kind of neat. Made from beech, waxed and left alone. Has too much of a “crafts show” appeal for me (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just isn’t my typical style). Comments welcomed.

This certainly is a unique piece. You might consider doing a blog on your construction processes.

what is the top photo?
The best part of this spoon, for me, is how the ends of the handle meet – united yet still separate entities.

Thanks! The top photo is the same spoon. The wood bends easily, even though totally dry. That was completely unexpected for me. I made the thing by cutting a normal spoon out of the blank, then cutting the handle lengthwise in two, wrapping the two halves around each other, and letting it dry that way. Then I shaped the two handles to round. I had no idea I’d be able to unbend it thereafter.

Very nice project. Of course the twisting of the wood makes this a keeper. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Great experiment, and a beautiful result. You talk about bending it and letting it dry. Does that mean that the wood is green?
