I have a bunch of finished but plain spoons in sassafras, oak and black cherry so I thought I would use them as practice pieces for kohlrosing and chip carving. I still need more practice, bit it is fun to try something new. I really like the way the cinnamon went into the sassafras grain and made it pop in addition to the kohlrosing.

Black Cherry chip carving?

Red Oak with stem and leaves, super bad! First one I tried.

Super terrible lettering! I'll get better.
