Where have I been since the 20th?
In the shop...


To many pieces to make with to little time to make them.










There are 3 sets of walnut tongs I have not oiled yet. Maybe I'll take pictures tomorrow. Don't hold your breath though.

Walnut 16x14.5x6 $178
This is about the largest walnut I've carved up so far. A little extra unexpected work on gluing up a crack. The glue up is looking good after 4 days of oiling. 10 more days to go.





Cherry eating spoons $16 each. They are about a tablespoon size and are 7" long.

With much anticipation my good friend Ryan came through again bringing me some willow tree. The v shaped bowl goes to Ryan and the mini is for Jackie's collection.

Cherry 14x12x4 $126 each.
I'll get to making salad tongs later. They go for $42. This pair is already spoken for.

Walnut 16.5x14x5 $168.
This beauty came from a large walnut in Louisa Co. that was clear cut to make way for a field. Trees of this size are hard to come by. I should finish the other half today.





Long handle oak spoon $42.
I received a request for this long 36" handle spoon from a very nice woman that does Civil war reenactments. She cooks over an open fire and was tired of bending over stirring the pot while getting smoke in her eyes. I'm sure someone has carved up a long handle spoon in the past to serve this purpose.

Cherry deep spoons $21.







Walnut burl 9x8x2 $48.
This stuff is hard to come by. It's also difficult work with the grain swirling in all directions.




Walnut with the sap wood 14x7x2 $56.
Makes for a nice serving bowl.
