Hmmm, I'd like trying to make one from a scrap of osage. Like yours, I'd love to see one side sapwood and the other heartwood.

Inspirational piece, brother!

Go ahead, it's quite a quick thing. I woke up early saturday, and by the time the family was up, it was done.

very nice. I've been on the look out for figured wood since I got my new curved knife.

very nice, I've been bitten by the "spoon bug", also. I'll have to show some of mine.

Real nice piece! I have to get busy and finish a spoon from a piece of home grown cherry that checked out on me - not sure the expiry is food safe so it will be a wall hanger. Beeswax 1:3,or4 to flaxseed oil makes a food safe finish for working spoons. Probably work well, hand rubbed into bows as well.

Used to be able to carve 'em just by looking at 'em when I was Sgt Major in Special Forces, but now I have to use carving knives and sandpaper, and scrapers

Nice spoon, I really like the heart sap contrast. Elm sure is pretty wood.
