Day one, project one, done. I present to you the finished camp spoon. The more I look at this spoon the more I like it.
The deep bowl will work well for campsite cooking. I left it fairly thick and chunky, but I did refine the shape some and thin it out a bit. I whipped up a quick lanyard for it. I used OD Green and Royal Blue 550 paracord, probably about 5 feet of each. I figured a lanyard would be useful for all sorts of things, it can be removed from the spoon if needed, but will serve as a way to tie it to your pack or hang it while cooking.
The spoon is made from cherry, harvested with my brother in Pennsylvania. I applied a nice thick coat of flax seed oil, waited a bit, and then applied a second. It is ready for years of use.
Well, I'm off, I've got more stuff to work on if I am going to get these projects done this week. Happy carving everyone. Talk to you all tomorrow, hard to say what project will show up here next.
