Going to make use of some good maple wood that broke off in the winter winds by carving some into long handled spoons to give to family and friends. Have been reading lots about food-safe finishes. Tung oil, beeswax, etc. Wondering if anyone with some knowledge would care to share some recommendations. #FoodSafe #WoodenSpoons #WoodCarving
Boiled all the #WoodenSpoons because the cleaning protocol was not observed.

Small but mighty! Hand-carved spice spoons in cherry, walnut, maple & more—perfect for salt cellars, spice jars, or gifting. Find them at @mccunebookarts x @theexchangevallejo during Vallejo’s Art Walk, July 11–12! Which one’s your fave? Drop a comment!

I really like this kind of simpler spoonrack and thought it was time carve one. The back is carved like a sliding dovetail that holds shelf.

Feels so good to carve spoons again. Trying out different shapes and searching for that nice gut feeling 😊

Had a few leftover blanks from my latest spoon carving course in Gothenburg and spent some nice carving time to finish them off.

Huge #hoarding in #Vijayawada
Where it rains throughout the year
On this hoarding are large #woodenspoons.
When it rains, water collects in these spoons
The weight of which bends the spoons and hits the #circuitboard.
Thus #MeghmalharRaga plays its #melodioustune.
Raag is related to #MeghmalharVarsha
Amazing #ecofriendlyeffort
#GuinnessBookofWorldRecords has awarded the company a #certificateofappreciation.
#BestEcoFriendlyHoarding in the world.

Noticed a few accounts, refugees from the deadbird that were around in late 2022, but then went inactive, have re-appeared and re-followed as the shitstorms rage through commercial social media.

I generally clean out anyone I'm following or that's following me who's been inactive for > 1 month.

Nice to see them back. Post more #woodenspoons @pvanrens

'Our attitude to hygiene, and by extension to dirt in all its multifarious forms, is increasingly strange and stupid. Every city street is strewn with fast food wrappers; I’ve never known them to look more filthy.' https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/mar/18/people-are-boiling-their-wooden-spoons-on-tiktok-i-wont-be-joining-them #foodscience #trends #woodenspoons
People are boiling their wooden spoons on TikTok. I won’t be joining them
