Thanks lupus, spoons are adictive :D
Its made from birch but ash is the next lump of wood due to be spoonified so watch this space :D
:) nice spoon, birch is good wood to use, have you treated it with anything?. I like the pouch too nice antler fastener. :)
Look at the grain on that spoon! i love it! im sure thats going to make a lovely present!

I used some food safe mineral oil to finish the spoon with, it wont go rancid like vegetable oil does (not that I have ever had any problems with rancid veg oil yet)
The antler fastener works really well, simple but effective :) this is my first proper attempt at leather work so I'm quite pleased with it.
Thank you all for your comments,

I use edible flax seed oil on my spoons it really brings out the grain. For a first attempt at leather work you have done a great job. Whats your next project? :)
