Spoon from Rhus typhina

I managed to get a fair sized piece of Rhus typhina from work, it has fantastic colours so I have so far made a spoon from it but I might make a small Kuksa from it.



I also made a couple more sugar spoons from Apple.

    I've neither seen it or heard of it before, but it looks intersting.

    These spoons are perfectly designed. Also, you used wood from Apple tree, right? Would it be ideal to create this spoon using chestnut tree?

    Thank you, Yes they are from Apple, Chestnut should be fine.

    nice spoons, i've been carving a set from sumac (rhus) as well as other household items, it's beautiful wood, especially the white then yellow then dark transitions in it. good work,
