Holder is spalted birch and spoon is maple with some lichen left on it.The spoon is decorative only. I still have some of this spalted log left. On this holder, I had to cover the bottom with an angled slice of walnut to level it up. It did the job. Slathered with danish oil 4 times and buffed up. This is a present for a lady who saw the first one I made. A lot of dremel work and sanding went into cleaning the inside of this partially hollowed log out. It had about a 2’’ opening all the way through it when I started. Like I say…...LOTS of dremel and sanding done! LOL
Thanks for the looks and comments.

I can easily see this as a salt box on the kitchen counter and the spoon would be a real plus for that. Why do you say the spoon is decorative only? How tall is this peice? (hard to tell in the picture). I like it a lot.

Kookaburra————It measures 10’’ tall by 5’’ across at its widest. The spoon has lichen on it and if you were to use it as a spoon, food particles would get into the lichen and it would just be a mess. I mean, it COULD be used but I wouldnt recommend it. Thanks for the questions and interest.

Great work here Jay, I always enjoy your ideas and getting back to the woods with the work…....nice! Always the perfect refresher for my inspiration of working wood.
Keep it going and hope all is well!
