Garry Oak…. You must be from the Island.
Welcome to LJ’s . I’m in Cowichan Bay.

Nice ladle and I like the rolling pins too.

Lovely ladle. Hand wrought or electric tools?

I an not a carver and must confess to using electrical tools. I was motivated to make this when the plastic one my wife was using cracked. I have often wished I could do not retangular stuff (other than turning) so I decided to try.

The big assisit for me was the use of Kutzall bits for the inside. Highly recommmended. I think Garry Oak would have been a real challenge using gouges and the like. The tress grow really twisted, rarely anything close to straight, so the grain structure is challenging.

Aside: forget to mention that Garry Oak has a great smell when it’s freshly cut. Like White Oak, it has bice ray fleck.
