Here is a little progress report on my giant Cedar Spoon. Far too many knots for a spoon, but I am persevering with working out the design. It is a fun project, and we will see how functional it becomes when approaching the finishing stages... Still a bit to go!
For many years I had the privilege of being able to look at this Cedar tree from the place I lived in. Sadly, one 2021 winter storm took the giant out and I was lucky to be able to get a log from the tree!
I decided that I needed to do something with it and, though it was a challenging piece of timber and not traditional spoon carving material, I just went ahead anyway. Here are some pictures of the tree, the aftermath of the storm and the first few stages of the carving process... Watch this space!
