Probably use my cooking utensils on a daily basis more than anything "carved" I do......(I do most of the cooking around here so that I don't have to do most of the cleaning.) I find an old spatula or serving spoon or whatever at the thrift stores,(Salvation army or saint vinny's,or....yard sales) bust off the old plastic handle and make up a wood one from something on the place or out in the woods. Puts a better feel in my hand and connects me into the natural world in another small way. People come to the house , see them and want them and so they become gifts. Here is a picture of a few that were at hand.
