Have had this hollow, spalted birch log for a while and looked at it today and realized it wanted to be a spoon holder. It’s 9’’ tall by 6’’ across. I still have about 2’ of the log left for something I haven’t yet “seen”. Brass brushed it, hand sanded it and finished with Watco Danish oil. I think it may still be a little moist in places. Thanks for the looks and comments.

Make all those spoons, gotta have something to put them in! Good thought, good project.

Hey Jay, you have some great country woodworking going on here for sure. What a well done collection you have made. Looks terrific.
All the best, keep on with the shavings.

Gorgeous! I have a few hollow pieces of a plum tree we had to cut down a few years ago- this would be a great idea for some of it. The middle was all rotted out but what was left is beautiful. Thanks for the great idea! I hope mine turns out as good as yours!
